After opening the gz file, there was a tar file inside, and then I just opened that file (I use 7zip for these types) and there was a whole host of stuff inside. I didn't realize the tar file itself was an archive, I thought it was the module! ::blush:: Maybe I don't need to mess with the "distribute" utility then, if I can just run the setup file. I'll try that first and see what happens. Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
