Hi All,

bootstrap.py contains the following hard coded url:

exec urllib2.urlopen('http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py'
                     ).read() in ez

With hindsight, this seems like a bad idea. For example, with the ridiculous situation we currently have with setuptools and distribute. It also means that the above url can't ever change, which is a bit of a harsh requirement.

My suggestion would be for bootstrap.py to include the code in ez_setup.py, but that seems a little heavyweight. I guess this will all be solved when the standard library includes modules to download packages from PyPI and install them. But what to do in the meantime?

cheers,

Chris
