I've just tried installing setuptools 0.6a6 so that I could install nose (http://somethingaboutorange.com/mrl/projects/nose/) via easy_install but I've hit a problem. It looks like cli.exe and gui.exe are not getting installed. To check I manually downloaded both setuptools-0.6a6-py2.4.egg and setuptools-0.6a6-py2.3.egg from the cheeseshop and opened them with a Zip viewer. Sure enough the py2.4 egg contains both exes but the py2.3 one doesn't. Should the py2.3 egg include these files? Thanks, Richard PS: Here is a transcript of my installation attempt. --- C:\data>python ez_setup.py Downloading http://cheeseshop.python.org/packages/2.3/s/setuptools/setuptools-0. 6a6-py2.3.egg Processing setuptools-0.6a6-py2.3.egg creating c:\progra~1\python23\lib\site-packages\setuptools-0.6a6-py2.3.egg Extracting setuptools-0.6a6-py2.3.egg to c:\progra~1\python23\lib\site-packages Adding setuptools 0.6a6 to easy-install.pth file Installing easy_install-script.py script to C:\progra~1\python23\Scripts error: None C:\data>python "c:\Program Files\Python23\Scripts\easy_install-script.py" nose Searching for nose Reading http://www.python.org/pypi/nose/ Reading http://somethingaboutorange.com/mrl/projects/nose/ Best match: nose 0.6 Downloading http://somethingaboutorange.com/mrl/projects/nose/nose-0.6.tar.gz Processing nose-0.6.tar.gz Running nose-0.6\setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir c:\docume~1\rcooper\locals~1\t emp\easy_install-ijtcn6\nose-0.6\egg-dist-tmp-sfmqvp zip_safe flag not set; analyzing archive contents... nose.core: module references __file__ nose.inspect_assert: module MAY be using inspect.getframeinfo Adding nose 0.6 to easy-install.pth file Installing nosetests-script.py script to C:\progra~1\python23\Scripts error: c:\progra~1\python23\lib\site-packages\setuptools-0.6a6-py2.3.egg\setupt o ols\cli.exe: No such file or directory
