Silly, silly me! Yes, on the occasion that I cut & pasted I got the command-line argument name wrong.
Even correcting that command-line the feature still does not seem to work as expected on Windows. Would you be able to provide an example syntax that works on this platform? Has anybody been able to confirm that this feature works on Windows? Ideally I'd like to be able to use both a local folder and also a netowrk folder specified by UNC path. Since I was having no luck with the command-line option I've been experimenting with the config file: [easy_install] find_links=<space seperated list of links> This works just fine every time I specify a web-url, but seems to fail every time I specify anything else. That is entirely consistent with the command-line behavior. I'm quite confused as to how I should correctly specify non-web URLs, the documentation makes no mention of the right way to do it: * Should paths be escaped or not? (I think no) * Should paths have trailing slashes? (Phillip says no) * UNIX "/" or Windows "\" style slashes? * Use "file:" at the begining?

Also, you should not include a trailing '/' or '\' when specifying file paths. If you want to check whether a directory is being processed, increase the verbosity of setuptools output to at least '-vv'; then you should see a series of "Found:" lines appear listing the contents of the target directory.
