Actually, it just occurred to me that there's a link on the page with the #egg, and one without, and probably easy_install was just looking at the link without the fragment. So maybe our plan to use #egg to correct the link just wasn't going to work with the site. -- Ian Bicking : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : http://blog.ianbicking.org _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
