What about using a network folder, e.g. a UNC path? Were you able to get such a thing working ever? -----Original Message----- From: Phillip J.

Has anybody had any luck using the --find_options argument to easy_install with a local folder (e.g. on a Windows C: Drive) or a network folder, for example

easy_install --find-links="http://server/egs" myegg==1.0.1 ( that sort of thing works fine )

So should this:

easy_install --find-links="c:\myeggs\" myegg==1.0.1

The file:// urls can work too, but they work differently than just using a directory filename; they'll be checked at a later stage of processing. And of course, they're harder to get right. :) This email does not create a legal relationship between any member of the Crédit Agricole group and the recipient or constitute investment advice.
