[Pythonmac-SIG] SOAPpy

[Bob Ippolito]

 From the description, it sounds like the following happened:

- Installation of SOAPpy without fpconst failed, because setup.py 
imports SOAPpy to fetch the version.
- Installation of SOAPpy without fpconst using DarwinPorts succeeded, 
but didn't actually work because fpconst is still missing.  A whole lot 
of other crap (Python 2.4, etc.) was installed in the process.

... so, it sounds like you need fpconst to use SOAPpy.  Google and PEP 
754 agree that fpconst is here:
