easy_install inherits this issue from the distutils -- i.e., it uses distutils argument parsing, which doesn't support this. It's a bit of a hack that it supports positional arguments at all. :( In some alternate universe in which I have the funding (and therefore time) to actually work on setuptools 0.7 and "nest", this and many other issues would certainly be fixable. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
