[Distutils] current ez_setup.py appears to refers a non existing URL?

[Jan-Wijbrand Kolman]

Hi,

Since about an hour or so, when I run ez_setup.py (by way of a 
zc.buildout bootstrap.py script), I get this:

Downloading 
http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.7/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c12-py2.7.egg
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "bootstrap.py", line 172, in <module>

   File "<string>", line 76, in use_setuptools

   File "<string>", line 131, in download_setuptools

     response = meth(req, response)
   File "/home/jw/runtime/2.7/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 511, in

http_error_default
     raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp)
urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found

And indeed, when I download ez_setup.py myself:

$ wget http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py

and run it, I also get the 404 on the URL:

 
http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.7/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c12-py2.7.egg.

I have been bootstrap.py-ing packages all day long and suddenly they 
stopped to work. Am I doing something wrong, or is the ez_setup.py broken?

Kind regards, jw
