Using Linux, I had trouble with zipped eggs when run from the web
server. I no longer have copies of the the error messages, but they
related to permission problems with unzipping the egg. I realize that
this error message does not seem to fit my scenario, but thought it
could be worth mentioning.
I set my distutils.cfg file to contain::
[easy_install]
zip_ok = False
