New submission from Zooko O'Whielacronx <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

If you follow the install instructions on
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/0.6c9#cygwin-mac-os-x-linux-other with
Safari on Mac OS X, you will probably accidentally rename the egg to
setuptools-0.6c9-py2.5.egg.sh, since Safari does that for you automatically
without really pointing out what it is doing.

Then if you run it, it will say "./setuptools-0.6c9-py2.5.egg.sh is not the
correct name for this egg file.  Please rename it back to
setuptools-0.6c9-py2.5.egg and try again.".

Why does it matter what the name is?

I ask because I don't want to advise my Macintosh users to follow the
instructions at
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/0.6c9#cygwin-mac-os-x-linux-other if it
is going to lead to these sorts of issues for them, and nor do I want to explain
to them how to download a file without letting Safari rename it.
