It's very fast, thanks. >It differs from your site in a few ways: > >- it does include a top-level index of all packages (but neither > releases nor descriptions) Unfortunately, that doesn't help current versions of setuptools. See point #7 of: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#package-index-api Setuptools looks for release links, not package links on that page.

Jim's already mentioned these, but the rel="" info (per the index API spec's point #6), and the links embedded in the long_description field (per point #4) are missing. Without these, easy_install can't find sourceforge links, subversion checkouts, or any other embedded direct download links. For example: $ easy_install -vvvi http://cheeseshop.python.org/simple pywin32 Searching for pywin32 Reading http://cheeseshop.python.org/simple/pywin32/ No local packages or download links found for pywin32 error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('pywin32') $ easy_install -vvvi http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi pywin32 Searching for pywin32 Reading http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/pywin32/ Reading http://sf.net/projects/pywin32 Reading http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=78018 Found link: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pywin32/pywin32-210.win32-py2.2.exe?modtime=1159009204&big_mirror=0 ...[a dozen more links] $ easy_install -i http://cheeseshop.python.org/simple setuptools==dev Searching for setuptools==dev Reading http://cheeseshop.python.org/simple/setuptools/ No local packages or download links found for setuptools==dev error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('setuptools==dev') $ easy_install -i http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi setuptools==dev Searching for setuptools==dev Reading http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/setuptools/ Reading http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/setuptools Reading http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/setuptools/0.6c6 Best match: setuptools dev Downloading http://svn.python.org/projects/sandbox/trunk/setuptools/#egg=setuptools-dev Doing subversion checkout from http://svn.python.org/projects/sandbox/trunk/setuptools/ to ... _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
