The PyPI page for this project doesn't include any direct download
links, nor does it include a home page or download URL with links to
the package. Please ask the author if they would change their download
URL to point to a page with direct download links, such as their
sourceforge "files" page, e.g.:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=137891
EasyInstall isn't a general-purpose web spider; it only scans for links
on PyPI pages, plus the "home page" and "download URL" listed on PyPI.
This keeps it from wandering all over the web looking for packages. :)
In the meantime, I'd suggest you use the -f or --find-links option to
easy_install to supply the missing URL, e.g.:
easy_install -f
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=137891 json-py
Oh, wait, that doesn't work, because the author didn't include a
setup.py. Not only that, the PyPI listing is for "python-json", even
though the project name is "json-py".
Okay, so json-py's distribution is completely fouled up. The only way
it's going to work with easy_install is if:
1. It gets a setup.py
2. It gets registered with the its *own* name on PyPI
3. It has a link from PyPI either directly to downloadable files or to
a page with links to downloadable files.
Either that, or somebody else needs to create their own packaging of
this with another name, that fixes the above three issues. Or, maybe a
switch to Bob Ippolito's simple_json is in order? His package is
actually downloadable from PyPI as source or eggs.
I know Kevin has a json-py packaging on turbogears.org; it would
probably be a good idea for him to either rename it and put up a PyPI
listing, or ditch it and go with a package that at least uses the
distutils.
