You can set the DISTUTILS_DEBUG environment variable to get tracebacks from distutils or setuptools. >This is the MacPorts version of Python, so I guess I have to shame >them for busting setuptools.

They took out the 'site.py' file. It's not optional. >The other thing I didn't understand is why I got a different error >message after the first "setup.py develop" and why it took deleting >mailman.egg-info to get the original error message back. Maybe I >should look at the setuptools code more carefully. <wink> I'm guessing that your setup.py includes a source-finding entry point. When the .egg-info already exists, the entry point would get called during the egg_info source manifest generation, and it's apparently hitting a missing requirement. When the .egg-info doesn't exist, the entry point wouldn't get called. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
