[Distutils] window 64bit madness

[Adam GROSZER]

Hello,

Having problems here installing 
http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.6/r/reportlab/reportlab-2.5.win-amd64-py2.6.exe 
. Neither setuptools 0.6c11 nor distribute 0.6.14 gets it right.

We don't have and don't want to have a compiler on the server, so we 
need rely on binary packages.

- setuptools just fails miserably even with easy_install: 
http://paste.lisp.org/+2KZD
- distribute installs it (tho in a ...-win32.egg folder): 
http://paste.lisp.org/+2KZE
- zc.buildout cannot install it with distribute, because it wants to use 
the source tarball (and we don't have a compiler) or when I make it not 
to be able to see the tarball, it does not find the 
reportlab-2.5.win-amd64-py2.6.exe. I guess it does not get the platform 
right.

Any hints?
