Have you actually tried easy_install on it? You will need to include quote marks on your command line, but it should work nonetheless. If that doesn't work, it's an easy_install bug; please send what you typed and the full easy_install output. But if it *does* work, then it's a Cheesecake bug that it says it doesn't work. :) >Will there be a way to change the filename in future releases? I don't have any plans to do so, no. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
