I was also receiving KeyError: '_zope_interface_coptimizations' when I did not use the tahoe.deps.tar.gz file It looks like it has to do with a change in distutils in 2.6.3 that affected setuptools This python bug report has more information http://bugs.python.org/issue7064 I also found some more information in this mailing list thread. http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2009-October/013534.html David _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list [email protected] http://allmydata.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list [email protected] http://allmydata.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev
