On my Mac Powerbook (OSX 10.3.9) I routinely use Python built from CVS HEAD as my day-to-day Python interpreter. Today I tried installing Myghty 0.99a using that interpreter: % python setup.py easy_install . --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This script requires setuptools version 0.6a5 to run (even to display help). I will attempt to download it for you (from http://cheeseshop.python.org/packages/2.5/s/setuptools/), but you may need to enable firewall access for this script first. I will start the download in 15 seconds. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Downloading http://cheeseshop.python.org/packages/2.5/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6a5-py2.... Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 2, in <module> use_setuptools() File "/Users/skip/src/Myghty-0.99a/ez_setup.py", line 74, in use_setuptools egg = download_setuptools(version, download_base, to_dir, download_delay) File "/Users/skip/src/Myghty-0.99a/ez_setup.py", line 122, in download_setuptools src = urllib2.urlopen(url) File "/Users/skip/local/lib/python2.5/urllib2.py", line 130, in urlopen return _opener.open(url, data) File "/Users/skip/local/lib/python2.5/urllib2.py", line 367, in open response = meth(req, response) File "/Users/skip/local/lib/python2.5/urllib2.py", line 475, in http_response 'http', request, response, code, msg, hdrs) File "/Users/skip/local/lib/python2.5/urllib2.py", line 405, in error return self._call_chain(*args) File "/Users/skip/local/lib/python2.5/urllib2.py", line 340, in _call_chain result = func(*args) File "/Users/skip/local/lib/python2.5/urllib2.py", line 483, in http_error_default raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp) urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found Even "python setup.py --help" doesn't work. I can understand that there's no packages/2.5 directory on cheeseshop yet. Is there a way to work around this problem?
