What precise package should I download from PyPI to try myself on a fresh Distribute install ?

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/fez.atcsv/0.2

I found the bug: every time a dependency is to be installed it's recursively uncompressed in the previous tmp directory. So after a while, you get dead long paths and get your bug.

Working on a fix tonite.

The real WTF here is that the same package is being repeatedly downloaded and installed as its own dependency repeatedly -- it's unlikely that fixing the temp directory processing will fix *that* problem, unless by some chance that accidentally makes the package recognize itself.
