You mean you read the link I gave you and didn't find this:

http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools#installing-setuptools

Conveniently linked as second point in the table of contents?

Well, it appears that we have different definitions of reading.

You think that

http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#installation-instructions

"""
Download ez_setup.py, and run it; this will download and install the 
appropriate setuptools egg for your Python version. (You will need at 
least Python 2.3.5, or if you are on a 64-bit platform, Python 2.4.) An 
easy_install script will be installed in the normal location for Python 
scripts on your platform. (Windows users, don't put ez_setup.py inside 
your Python installation; please put it in some other directory before 
running it.)

"""

isn't clear? And the following paragraphs that detail some specific 
problems that _might_ occur, but most probably won't as you didn't have 
a setuptools installed already?

I just did.

I'm not sure how much more apparent things can be that are titled

Installing "setuptools"
Installing "Easy Install"

Bruce, you can give me whatever names you like - slut, jerk, dietz - but 
the fact remains that you did NOT carefully read my posts nor the links 
I pointed you to. Which I showed in the last post already, that you 
conveniently ignored to comment on.

For me, it's EOD here.
