My guess would be that something is setting permissions for the current user, 
and these installs were done by an admin user who is not the current user. This 
will result in explicit permissions on the file that may deny read access.

I'll have to confirm tomorrow. Do you have the exact versions of setuptools and 
pip that are problematic? (My guess is that it won't matter. The code has 
probably been in there for a while if I'm right.)

Cheers,
Steve

Subject: [Distutils] Windows 8 pkg_resources permissions bug

Hey all,

I searched the issues on the setuptools repository but I couldn't find
any that seemed relevant to what a user of Flake8 has run into:
https://bitbucket.org/tarek/flake8/issue/142/installation-on-windows-8-permissions

It seems that installing something that relies on pkg_resources to
load plugins will cause errors on Windows 8. Does anyone have any
insight? Is this actually a bug? Are we just using pkg_resources
incorrectly?

Thanks in advance,
Ian
