I'm getting a similar issue (easy_install failing on sourceforge) when trying to download Pyro:
$ easy_install -eb. Pyro /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/Pyrex/Compiler/Errors.py:17: DeprecationWarning: BaseException.message has been deprecated as of Python 2.6 self.message = message Searching for Pyro Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/Pyro/ Reading http://pyro.sourceforge.net Reading http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=18837 No local packages or download links found for a source distribution of Pyro error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('Pyro') The thing is, there is a source distribution of Pyro right there on the SourceForge website. Why doesn't this grab the .tar.gz file and build and install it? I thought setuptools did this automatically. Perhaps my memory is failing me. (It wouldn't be the first time.) -Andrew _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
