The whole point is that setup.py never works because it can't find VS despite the fact that I know I've got the correct version installed. If I download a whl file, pip installs that version perfectly. If I try to get pip to download and install the very same file it gave the zipfile error I referred to earlier. Hopefully all the problems with pip will get ironed out, or where do we go, distutils3? :(
Unlike distutils, pip is being actively maintained and improved. It must have a comm channel for bug reports and suggestions.
