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? > i'm fully aware of what the site states, as i read it. you ignorant slut > assume that i didn't.

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? > 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'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. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
