Many thanks, Phillip, for your quick and generous response.
Eggs are a binary distribution format, originally developed to support user-installed plugins for systems like Chandler, Zope, etc. They aren't a source distribution format; sdist works well enough for that and for easy_install if you have a pure-Python package (or your users have C compilers).
Oh joy. sdist is working fine--Leo is indeed a pure python program.
I'd suggest using the --show-response option so you can see what's happening.
Will do, assuming there is still a problem with uploading the .zip file.
here's the output from my attempt at downloading from the SF page:
$ easy_install -nvf http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3458 leo
Excellent. I'll try again with the options you show.
Note that this means you can use the above URL as your "Download URL" for PyPI; I just specified it using -f because that's not what you currently have up as the link on PyPI. The -n is because I didn't want to *actually* install leo, and the -v was for verbosity. If you update your "Download URL" you should be able to simply "easy_install leo" and have it work.
