Hi all, I just noticed that easy_install selects a Windows binary egg when trying to install pyOpenSSL on Linux. Predictably, this fails: $ PYTHONPATH=/tmp/junk6 easy_install --install-dir /tmp/junk6 --dry-run pyOpenSSL Creating /tmp/junk6/site.py Searching for pyOpenSSL Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/pyOpenSSL/ Reading http://pyopenssl.sourceforge.net/ Reading http://launchpad.net/pyopenssl Best match: pyOpenSSL 0.9.py2.5 Downloading http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.5/p/pyOpenSSL/pyOpenSSL-0.9.py2.5-winxp32....
