Can you give me the download URL for the py source distro so I can try to reproduce this?
Right now, it's only available from subversion:
svn co http://codespeak.net/svn/py/dist py-dist
Note that you can just "easy_install http://codespeak.net/svn/py/dist" to install it directly from subversion, without needing a manual checkout. (You *do* need a subversion client on your PATH, however.)
Neat. easy_install seems to have quite a few tricks up its sleeve.
Here's a patch to setuptools that appears to fix the problem (by not running imported scripts as __main__), and it's probably a good idea to add it to setuptools in any case. Meanwhile, however, somebody should probably tell the py folks that _findpy is a horrible, *horrible* hack and should be shot. :)
Cool. I'll give this a whirl. Kevin
