Hello, I am using easy_install on windows for its ability to install binary eggs (and compiled extension modules). Also using virtualenv to separate my environments.
I want to be able to manage an egg cache to be used in a local installation workflow: download the package and build the eggs in a defined directory. I first download the package using the documented approach of getting the packages built into eggs in a directory: easy_install -zmaxd [my_dir] I would expect to have zipped eggs at the "my_dir" destination. This works as expected only if I start from a clean virtualenv. If the environment is already populated (or installed) with the package I want to cache, it is this package (from site-packages) that is taken to my cache directory, not the zipped egg (I presume because the package is not zip safe). Is there a way around this behaviour? Thank you, D. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
