This may be moot due to what John H. has done, but I thought all you need to do to stop setuptools from going and grabbing the source is to re-name the egg -- couldn't we just put the same egg up on the website with different names for different OS versions? for instance, I renamed: matplotlib-0.98.3-py2.5-macosx-10.3.egg to: matplotlib-0.98.3-py2.5.egg and easy_install installed it without a hitch on 10.4 Indeed, that name may work for 10.5 too. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
