There's an error in the ez_setup.py file. Change line 18 from DEFAULT_URL = "http://www.turbogears.org/download/eggs/setuptools-0.6a9dev_r41815-py2.4.egg";
to DEFAULT_URL = "http://www.turbogears.org/download/eggs/"; The egg URL is getting mangled with that extra information and is preventing the installation from taking place (the URL becomes http://www.turbogears.org/download/eggs/setuptools-0.6a9dev_r41815-py2.4.eggsetuptools-0.6a9dev_r41815-py2.4.egg instead of http://www.turbogears.org/download/eggs/setuptools-0.6a9dev_r41815-py2.4.egg in the original code).
