I doubt that. And I get the feeling that you did not read anything belonging to setuptools I pointed you to. I just did this: 192:/tmp deets$ easy_install-2.5 -Z durus Searching for durus Reading http://www.python.org/pypi/durus/ Couldn't find index page for 'durus' (maybe misspelled?)

I don't know what durus is, how to use it and I don't care about it, so I can't comment on your actual problems with durus itself. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
