At the PyCon sprints Jim and I were working with easy_install and working_env under Windows and noticed some odd behavior. When within an activated working environment, attempting to do something like: c:\...>easy_install lxml==1.1 attempts to retrieve the source distribution rather than the available Windows binary egg for PyPI. Is this the expected behavior? I would have expected easy_install to prefer binary eggs. Thanks, Nathan
