Go to http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py and save the content of that file as ez_setup.py (cut and paste into your favourite editor may be the simplest way) then run it with your chosen Python. It will find and install the appropriate version of easy install. -- Duncan Booth http://kupuguy.blogspot.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
