Nobody seems to have responded to this (or I haven't seen it), but it looks like your system can't extract gzip files. Suggestions found on other fora (at the opposite end of a Google search) point to possibly using pip instead of easy_install; alternatively, you may be able to install a Windows gzip utility, though I don't know anything about linking that up with easy_install. Sorry I can't be of more help! But maybe bumping this thread will bring it to someone's attention who actually knows. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
