Hey everyone, I'm trying to install setuptools on a work PC behind an NTLM firewall. I've tried to use APS as recommended but am still unable to have anything other than IE talk through firewall. But as I can downloaded eggs manually, I'm not overly concerned at this point.
So I've tried following the instructions for un-networked installs: I've downloaded ez_setup.py and setuptools-0.6c3-py2.4.egg, putting the egg file in the same folder as ez_setup. No matter what comline args I try, though, it always seems to try to grab the egg from the Cheeseshop. I naively started off with: D:\downloads>ez_setup setuptools Downloading http://cheeseshop.python.org/packages/2.4/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c3-py2.4.egg Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\downloads\ez_setup.py", line 217, in ? main(sys.argv[1:]) File "D:\downloads\ez_setup.py", line 149, in main egg = download_setuptools(version, delay=0) File "D:\downloads\ez_setup.py", line 131, in download_setuptools src = urllib2.urlopen(url) File "C:\Python24\lib\urllib2.py", line 130, in urlopen return _opener.open(url, data) File "C:\Python24\lib\urllib2.py", line 358, in open response = self._open(req, data) File "C:\Python24\lib\urllib2.py", line 376, in _open '_open', req) File "C:\Python24\lib\urllib2.py", line 337, in _call_chain result = func(*args) File "C:\Python24\lib\urllib2.py", line 1021, in http_open return self.do_open(httplib.HTTPConnection, req) File "C:\Python24\lib\urllib2.py", line 996, in do_open raise URLError(err) urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error (10061, 'Connection refused')> So reading through the EasyInstall instructions, I find that I need to stop it from downloading and point it at the local copy instead: D:\downloads>ez_setup --allow-hosts=None --find-links="D:\downloads" setuptools Downloading http://cheeseshop.python.org/packages/2.4/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c3-py2.4.egg Traceback (most recent call last): [snip] urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error (10061, 'Connection refused')> This I don't understand, as the docs explicitly state, "--allow-hosts=None prevents downloading altogether", which certainly isn't the case here. Even using the exact param layout for the example in the docs doesn't work: D:\downloads>ez_setup -H None -f D:\downloads setuptools Downloading http://cheeseshop.python.org/packages/2.4/s/setuptools/setuptools-0. 6c3-py2.4.egg Traceback (most recent call last): [etc] The difference is that I'm using ez_setup instead of easy_install, but then that's what I'm wanting to end up with out of this exercise. The docs do state that ez_setup uses the exact same comline args as easy_install...is this definitely the case? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. I feel like I'm missing something blatantly obvious... Danke. - alex23 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
