Hi, I wanted to make an egg from my package, so that people install it with easy_install. I managed to make an egg, which works fine, but I have problems with the cheeseshop, and how easy_install retrieve the egg. First, I uploaded the egg using register and upload command, and I can see the egg on the cheeseshop. But when trying to use easy_install, it does not work: it tries to look for packages in at the URL I gave in url argument, and do not take the egg from the cheeseshop. As a temporary "fix", I removed url and url_download arguments, and re-upload my package: this time, easy_install get the egg, but fails installing it: Creating /usr/media/misc/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/site.py Searching for numscons Reading http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/numscons/ Reading http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/numscons/0.3.1 Best match: numscons 0.3.1 Downloading http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.5/n/numscons/numscons-0.3.1-py2.5.egg#md5=...
