If yes, that was a mistake. The above command is supposed to work on downloaded eggs that lie around somewhere. The result was a long list of error messages and removal of my egg, and Python could no longer use the AOPython module. So, I'm looking for a better reference for telling me about eggs and modules in site-packages. You did everything alright the first time. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

An egg is basically a ZIP file with a specific structure (you can inspect it with common ZIP tools). Depending on the package easy_install is installing, it may be considered safe to install as a single file (which Python does support importing files from). I tend to prefer to have an actual unpacked tree myself. If you use the "-Z" option to easy_install, you can force it to always unpack any eggs when installing them. Alternatively, if you've already got the single egg, you can always unzip it yourself. Just rename it temporarily and unzip it into a directory named exactly the same as the single egg file was. -- David -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

When you do easy_install somePackage the easy_install script will try to find the package on PyPI and download the latest version. If you do the latter, you are telling easy_install to look for that specific version. If you mis-spell the version slightly, then you will probably have issues. I am guessing that is why you received those error messages.
