Now that www.myghty.org is back up, I see that the CheeseShop tarball is picked up eventually. I believe that easy_install checks all of the various sources to try to find a best match (for some definition of "best"). Of course, I would consider it a bug that an exception raised while trying to fetch one possible source stops the entire process, particularly when a matching tarball has already been found. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
