Oups right, I thought easy_install worked with the same temp folder in the
same run but it is zc.buildout,
I just found the place where it is not behaving correctly, it does a
>>> index.download('
http://svn.python.org/projects/sandbox/trunk/setuptools/#egg=setuptools-dev',
FOLDER)
where FOLDER may have a "setuptools" directory already
===
Jim do you still dislike the idea of making zc.buildout compatible with
packages downloaded with egg fragments ?
Because even if no one uses such urls in the find-links option, it will be
forced if you try to use "setuptools==dev" in the buildout,
which would be simpler that to use a 'develop' option in that case.
I think the solution is to check for this in Installer._fetch(self, dist,
tmp, download_cache) in zc.buildout/easy_install.py
and do a special treatement when such urls are provided.
