This package cannot be safely installed by EasyInstall, and may not support alternate installation locations even if you run its setup script by hand. Please inform the package's author and the EasyInstall maintainers to find out if a fix or workaround is available. The Python egg cache directory is currently set to: /Users/zooko/.python-eggs Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory? You can change the cache directory by setting the PYTHON_EGG_CACHE environment variable to point to an accessible directory. ---------- messages: 44 nosy: zooko priority: bug status: unread title: SandboxViolation: mkdir('/Users/zooko/.python-eggs', 511) {} _______________________________________________ Setuptools tracker <setuptools@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue23> _______________________________________________
