Phillip and others,

Does this look like it is installed correctly?  Or is it that I am calling setup.py when I should be calling ez_setup?  And what should I pass to ez_setup?  It does look like setuptools are installed incorrectly since easy_install -h does not run.  So what is the right way?

Thanks!

easy_install -h

You didn't *call* use_setuptools, or import setuptools itself, so this
doesn't actually mean that setuptools is okay.  The error message below is
displayed when use_setuptools() is *called*, not when it's imported.

My guess is that setuptools isn't actually on the path, either because it
didn't install correctly, or because the configuration for building
SQLAlchemy doesn't specify that its build requires setuptools.
