New submission from Zooko O'Whielacronx zooko@zooko.com:

If you follow the install instructions on http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/0.6c9#cygwin-mac-os-x-linux-other with Safari on Mac OS X, you will probably accidentally rename the egg to setuptools-0.6c9-py2.5.egg.sh, since Safari does that for you automatically without really pointing out what it is doing.

Then if you run it, it will say "./setuptools-0.6c9-py2.5.egg.sh is not the correct name for this egg file. Please rename it back to setuptools-0.6c9-py2.5.egg and try again.".

Why does it matter what the name is?

I ask because I don't want to advise my Macintosh users to follow the instructions at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/0.6c9#cygwin-mac-os-x-linux-other if it is going to lead to these sorts of issues for them, and nor do I want to explain to them how to download a file without letting Safari rename it.
