New submission from Will <william.full.moon@gmail.com>: I installed Python v3.1.2. I brought Easy_install via the instructions using CURL and setup.py. When I wanted to use easy_install to get pySQLite ... ** c:\bin\python\v3\scripts\easy_install.exe -v pysqlite The install fails. With a syntax error. One diagnostic asked for Sphinx. So I instituted the Sphinx down load. With the same result (see attached log and error file). There seems to be a fundamental problem in the Easy_install script, viz: File "c:\bin\python\v3\lib\site-packages\distribute-0.6.14-py3.1.egg \setuptools\sandbox.py", line 32, in <lambda> ).read(), "setup.py", 'exec'), File "setup.py", line 80 print "Is sphinx installed? If not, try 'sudo easy_install sphinx'." ^ I've tried to capture the error and stdout in the attached log file. Cheers, Will ---------- files: sqlite.log messages: 546 nosy: aplatypus priority: critical status: unread title: setup.py = Invalid Syntax Added file: http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/file71/sqlite.log _______________________________________________ Setuptools tracker <setuptools@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue115> _______________________________________________
