I've been testing the latest release of my functional package[1] to see that it works with easy_install. When I do "easy_install functional", it shows that it looks at PyPI, can't find anything appropriate, then goes on to the project's website, eventually downloading and installing functional-Py-0.6.tar.gz.

I imagine that easy_install is getting confused by the seven files listed on the PyPI page; there are two versions of the package -- one in C and one in pure Python -- with tarballs and eggs for each version. Is there any way that I can mark a particular file (in an easy_install-understandable way) as, "if you don't know what you need, download this"? Should I use the "Download URL" field for this?

The problem is that you've uploaded distributions for two different projects: one named "functional-C", and the other named "functional-Py". Since neither one is "functional", EasyInstall keeps looking.
