The 1.4 Pyramid tutorial documentation in effect recommends that one 
installs a pyramid app using

easy_install tutorial-0.0.tar.gz.


On windows I have found that:

   1.   "easy_install tutorial-0.0.tar.gz." does not create a complete set 
   of directories and files to run at least the SQLAlchemy app as created in 
   the tutorial. Notably missing are README, develoment.ini, and 
   production.ini. 
   2.   untarring the app distribution tar file, and then executing 
   "venv/python setup.py install" DOES seem to create all the correct files in 
   the right place. The tar does have everything . A minor detail is that the 
   README instructions are for linux only.
   

No files other than directories appear in the root of the installed 
package. For example, for the tutorial, I see in 
<venv>\Lib\site-packages\tutorial-0.0-py3.3.egg only:
       EGG-INFO
       tutorial

Notably, There is no README or any of the .ini files here or in any 
subdirectory under <venv>\Lib\site-packages\tutorial-0.0-py3.3.egg. If one 
is only to look in that directory then I believe there is not enough 
information to start up the app. I also checked under the virtualenv 
directory for the python I am using. The essential app files are not 
present anywhere there either.

However, README, etc are present in the tarfile so if I untar the file, 
then the README, etc are all present in the directory I untarred to and in 
addition I can exec "python setup install" to install the 
venv/Lib/site-package. 

I see that some other packages include READMEs etc in site packages 
directories. 

This seems to be such a basic issue that it shouldn't be a problem. What am 
I doing wrong? Am I missing an easy_install switch?

thanks,
