i'm trying to just download the turbogears eggs without installing it. i've read the turbogear install instructions and the easy_install help.
from the easy_install web site: If you have another machine of the same operating system and library versions (or if the packages aren't platform-specific), you can create the directory of eggs using a command like this: easy_install -zmaxd somedir SomePackage i tried this: C:\python\turbogears>easy_install -zmaxd TurboGears TurboGears Processing TurboGears error: Couldn't find a setup script in TurboGears C:\python\turbogears>easy_install -zmaxd . TurboGears Processing TurboGears error: Couldn't find a setup script in TurboGears on the turbogears mailing list, someone posted this: You could even do "easy_install -zmaxd TurboGears" at home to just download the files and then bring in the files on a usb key and then "easy_install -f . TurboGears" from the usb drive. i tried this: C:\python\turbogears>easy_install -zmaxd TurboGears error: No urls, filenames, or requirements specified (see --help) i copied the ez_setup.py file from turbogears and tried the commands against that script but it didn't work. i'm using setuptools-0.6c2 if that is helpful to anyone. thanks, bryan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
