The thing is, there is a source distribution of Pyro right there on the
SourceForge website. Why doesn't this grab the .tar.gz file and build
and install it? I thought setuptools did this automatically. Perhaps my
memory is failing me. (It wouldn't be the first time.)
Two things. First, the correct URL for Pyro downloads is
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=18837&package_id=29259 .
Second, Sourceforge has changed their pages again so that they no
longer give direct links to downloadable files; instead, they link to
a "downloading.php" which setuptools does not recognize as a downloadable file.
I'm not sure when this changed on Sourceforge, but I do hope that SF
users will complain long and loud about it.
