Hello, I needed support in easy_install for installing from HTTP digest and basic authenticated sites so I wrote the included patch. It currently supports specifying username and password information at the command line (however misguided that may be) and prompting the user interactively. It should also be easy to integrate with graphical interfaces. Please consider it for inclusion in the next release. Thanks, -- David D. Smith

I don't know if it is an option for you to use zc.buildout. If it is, then zc.buildout has an extension that lets you use sftp: http://www.python.org/pypi/zc.buildoutsftp This has the advantage that, if you use an SSH agent, you don't have to enter credentials when you download a transaction. And, of course, it is more secure than digest or basic authentication. Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:jim@zope.com Python Powered!
