Well, OK, apparently pip looks at the dependencies first and installs them separately. But if you ask Distribute to install a package it will try to resolve the package dependencies and install them. Apparently the subclassed distutils commands numpy uses can't handle being installed that way. IMO that's a numpy bug. -- Lennart Regebro: Python, Zope, Plone, Grok http://regebro.wordpress.com/ +33 661 58 14 64 _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
