Let me jump in here.
$ sudo easy_install -v "Spiff WikiMarkup"
error: Not a URL, existing file, or requirement spec: 'Spiff WikiMarkup'
$ sudo easy_install -v Spiff\ WikiMarkup
error: Not a URL, existing file, or requirement spec: 'Spiff WikiMarkup'
$ sudo easy_install -v 'Spiff WikiMarkup'
error: Not a URL, existing file, or requirement spec: 'Spiff WikiMarkup'
$ sudo easy_install -v Spiff_WikiMarkup

Couldn't find index page for 'Spiff_WikiMarkup' (maybe misspelled?)
Scanning index of all packages (this may take a while)
Reading http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/
Reading http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/Spiff%20WikiMarkup/0.1
Reading http://code.google.com/p/spiff/
No local packages or download links found for Spiff-WikiMarkup
error: Could not find suitable distribution for
Requirement.parse('Spiff-WikiMarkup')
So it seems to be easy_install bug. And again: easy_install have no
--version option. Please fix this. I'm using setuptools-0.6c5.
Cheers,
