[Distutils] [issue12] add option --download-only

New submission from htgoebel : Please add an option --download-only (or suchlike). Some packages can not be installed using setup.py install, since they do not support distutils. But if easy_install would support an option like --download-only, it could be used to download the newest version and all dependencies. ---------- messages: 16 nosy: htgoebel priority: wish status: unread title: add option --download-only _______________________________________________ Setuptools tracker http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue12 _______________________________________________
