I am using setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg on Windows Vista.
Oops. My bad - this was actually fixed only 7 months ago, in
February 2010, and it's not in 0.6c11, only the nightly
snapshots. To update your installation, run:
easy_install -U setuptools
This should give you 0.6c12dev-r_something_or_other. ;-)

If the Python was the only code inside - that'd be acceptable, but it
seems like the proper fix lies in setuptools AI code.
You do realize that asking everybody to update their version of
setuptools in order to be able to install one particular package is a
little unrealistic? I mean, *your* setuptools is at least seven
months out of date, so even if I changed this, how long would it be
till your users updated? ;-)
In truth, I do have an idea that would actually fix this problem in
the Google case (a change to the way the source is processed after
extraction), but it will likely be a while before I can implement it,
and a while further still before everyone has installed the
update. (Note that 0.6c5 and 0.6c9 are still very popular versions,
and 0.6c9 is like *two years* out of date.)
