Any idea how to get "easy_install <package-name>" to work when <package_name> is stored on SourceForge.net?
I have a python package, pypubsub, that I have been hosting on SourceForge. I would rather leave the files there as I prefer the stats available, rather than storing the files on pypi. I am able to install pubsub several ways: via "python setup.py install", by downloading the egg/zip to my computer and easy_install on egg/zip, or by storing the file on pypi (tested just to see if it was an SF.net issue). So there is nothing wrong with pubsub's setup.py. But I am unable to install Pubsub using "easy_install pypubsub". This is what I get from "easy_install pypubsub" (latest setuptools, python 2.6): C:\Program Files\wxPython2.8 Docs and Demos\demo>easy_install pypubsub Searching for pypubsub Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/pypubsub/ Reading http://pubsub.wiki.sourceforge.net Reading http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=197063 Reading http://pubsub.sourceforge.net Reading http://sourceforge.net/projects/pubsub/files/pubsub/3.1.1b1/ Reading http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pubsub Best match: PyPubSub 3.1.1b1.win32 Downloading http://sourceforge.net/projects/pubsub/files/pubsub/3.1.1b1/PyPubSub-3.1.1b1.win32.zip/download Processing download error: Couldn't find a setup script in c:\docume~1\schoenb\locals~1\temp\easy_install-sa7vdr\download Firstly the best match should be 3.1.2, available from several of those http links. Secondly easy_install complains about a missing setup script, this is bogus because it works fine directly on the file. Setuptools 0.6.11c code shows that it does extra step when installing a python dist stored on SourceForge.net that ends in "download", but given the above I don't think that bit of code works. I notice that matplotlib, also stored on sourceforge, has same issue; and that all packages I tried that are hosted on pypi can be easy_installed via "easy_install <package-name>". Any ideas how to get "easy_install pypubsub" to work properly when the egg/zips are on SourceForge.net? Oliver
