Thanks, Phillip. I've got it now, but needed to get over another hurdle,
which was that ez_setup.py contains hard-coded egg names and md5
checksums, and thus seems to need to be fetched (manually, not exactly
"ez") from your website each time the world changes.
Using the old version of ez_setup (which I had used successfully to get
setuptools for python 2.4 & 2.3), the command
\python25\python ez_setup.py
gave HTTP error 404.
Shouldn't it just find the latest 2.5-compatible egg in the Cheeseshop?
Or should I be using some non-default args?
Shouldn't it be a little more helpful than "404" if it can't find a
suitable egg?

Thanks; I must have skipped the table of contents and just read serially
until I got to the release notes and then baled out :-)
Cheers,
John
