hey dietz... if you give me your email i'll correspond with you directly.. but yeah, you are a jerk. in that you make assumptions that may/may not be correct, but you appear to have a holier than thou mentality...
i did download the setuptools tar file.... i read through the txt files that came with it... i couldn't fing anything that stated exactly how to get the easy_install app... i'm fully aware of what the site states, as i read it. you ignorant slut assume that i didn't. in my mind, the docs on the installation could use a little more clarification, especially for those who aren't quite sure of how python might work, and so don't want to risk screwing up a system. but, as far as the setuptools site goes, can you point to the section that states, to install (setuptools/easy_install), you do x: -download this file -run this command... i found the files to download... i couldn't find the command to run, (at least is wasn't apparent to me.) so, anyway, thanks! peace -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Diez B.

Really? Did you? Here your third question: -3rd question.. in searching the 'net, it appears that i have to download setuptools in order to get easy_install. Am I missing something here, or is this correct? And here something I posted yesterday: """ setuptools is a package that installs & creates eggs. You find it documented here: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools It comes with a few commandline-scripts after installation, such as easy_install """ So, can you explain me how "actually had read what you'd posted" goes together with the above question that you asked after my post? And just putting "easy_install setuptools" into the google search bar on my browser yields this http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall as fourth or so link. Besides the fact that the link I gave you to the setuptools features above link in the third paragraph. So I think calling you ignorant for not reading what I posted and not reading what pointers I gave you is well justified. If that makes _me_ a jerk - I'm ok with that then.
