Re: [Distutils] Distutils / Setuptools on Windows: Can we use local or UNC filesystems as an argument to --find-links

Has anybody had any luck using the --find_options argument to easy_install with a local folder (e.g. on a Windows C: Drive) or a network folder, for example

easy_install --find-links="http://server/egs" myegg==1.0.1 ( that sort of thing works fine )

So should this:

easy_install --find-links="c:\myeggs\" myegg==1.0.1

The file:// urls can work too, but they work differently than just using a directory filename; they'll be checked at a later stage of processing. And of course, they're harder to get right. :)
