What windows binary egg for PyPI? If you mean the one for 1.1, the problem is that easy_install isn't reading that page, because it's a "hidden" version.

It only prefers what it finds, and currently it won't find Cheeseshop files for "hidden" versions of a pacakge unless you include a -f to that page, e.g. -f http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/lxml/1.1 in this case. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
