Hi all, Just ran into the following problem when trying to install appscript 0.18.0 into Leopard's default Python installation via easy_install (setuptools 0.6c3):

Any ideas on why it's selecting the .tar.gz version rather than the .egg? (Note: the egg was built using my own Python 2.5 installation, rather than the Apple one.) 2. I get the above traceback when easy_install tries to use the source- based appscript. This occurs with Leopard's own Python 2.5 and the Python 2.4 installation I keep around for testing purposes. Any guesses on what's going wrong? I'm not that familiar with setuptools and its error reporting leaves something to be desired, so I don't even know if the problem lies with it or appscript's setup.py script.
