I'm not familiar with setuptools, what exactly is it looking for?

If it's looking for stuff to download it should start at

http://code.google.com/p/gmpy/downloads/list

(but what does it want -- the sources' zipfile, or some binary, and in
what format and with what naming convention?) -- I'll be glad to edit
the URL for gmpy at cheeseshop if some setuptools expert can explain
these subtleties... thanks for pointing out that there's a problem
btw!-)
