You mean the request you put in two days ago? Sorry I've not got around to responding yet. It was admittedly low on my priority list because you were the only person reporting the issue (out of hundreds of successful registrations). I will now fill in the details you've just provided (ie the input you used which broke the interface) so that when I get around to fixing it I'll know what I'm looking for. > Which is precisely how the file in question was generated: > > setup.py sdist --format=zip Try without the --format arg. The code is being too paranoid. Richard -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
