Sorry for flooding the list with my questions, but I think I found another problem with easy_install. Calling it on "mathdom==0.7.1" invokes an infinite sourceforge download loop. I've given up after watching "Download failed" messages for about 20 minutes. So I can't prove this loop is infinite. ;-)

The problem is the broken URL for mathdom 0.7.1 provided on the mathdom PyPI page. Sourceforge has no such file. Please let the author know about the problem. In the meantime:

easy_install http://cheeseshop.python.org/packages/source/m/mathdom/mathdom-0.7.1.tar.gz

should get you the package that is available. (It's not using the 2.4 egg because again, you're on Python 2.3.)

BTW, is there any kind of tracker for setuptools, so I could use that instead of writing directly to this list?

No; the intent is to allow everyone to learn from the answers, and thus better support others. This wouldn't happen as well with a walled-off tracker.
