You need an internet connection unless you provide an archive of distribute alongside the distribute_setup.py script in your archive. In that case, it will use it rather than getting it at PyPI, So yes, there is a way to get it installed with your distribution. That's what the next virtualenv release does in fact. zc.buildout has a similar mechanism with its eggs folder. As a matter of fact, some people build their buildout instance and just zip it with all included (pre-downloaded) dependencies. Then you can just unzip it and use it with no internet connection on a similar target system. That's a "big" binary distribution :) Regards, Tarek _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
