These versions should not be installed unless the installer is explicitly told to install just those versions, so that is really not connected to this issue. You should of course be able to install files both locally and from a specific URL. But the development tgz created and hosted on github should IMO never be installed by just saying "easy_install frobnitz" or even "easy_install frobnitz==1.3.4dev5" //Lennart _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list Catalog-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
