Bob Ippolito gives a simple example of using setuptools to develop modules. That got me interested in installing setuptools. I followed the instructions for a non-admin OSX user and created a .pydistutils.cfg file to point to the site-packages is use with raw distutils stuff. Then I tried to use the ex-setup.py file to install setuptools and I get this error.
Extracting setuptools-0.6a8-py2.4.egg to /Users/managan/Documents/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages Installing easy_install script to /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/bin error: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/bin/easy_install: Permission denied Any idea why it is trying to write to /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/bin ?? I tried various -d -i options but could not get it to work right. Any suggestions?
