Phillip, Thanks for reply.
I used ez_setup.py per instructions here: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#installation-instructions Looks like I should've used setup.py instead. That being the case, perhaps the text should be reworded - it currently says: "Place the egg in the same directory as ez_setup.py on the target computer before running it." Cheers, Scoot. Phillip J.
