Hello,
I'm trying to install GoogleCL using easy_install on a Mac. Here's what I see:

There's a source package on pypi that apparently gets skipped over:
<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/googlecl/0.9.11>http://pypi.python.org/pypi/googlecl/0.9.11
plus the Download URL field is filled in with a link directly to the
correct file. Instead, easy_install grabs the first download listed
in the project home's download links, which happens to be a .zip
with an executable for Windows users.
What's going on here?
By the naming conventions setuptools uses, a file named
"googlecl-0.9.11-win32.zip" is a source package for version
"0.9.11-win32" of "googlecl", and thus is used in preference to the
lower-versioned
"<http://googlecl.googlecode.com/files/googlecl-0.9.11.tar.gz>googlecl-0.9.11.tar.gz".
If you named that file, say, "googlecl-win32-0.9.11.zip" instead,
then this confusion would not occur.
Is there a way to indicate the correct file, or does the package
description need to be updated?
Thanks,
- Tom
