Really, this shouldn't happen if you really are using a non-root version of Python:
> [Errno 2] No such file or directory: > '/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/test-easy-install-22015.write-test' I don't think setuptools is dumb enough to hardcode things like "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/", so the error is probably yours here. Perhaps you should double-check you did everything fine before posting such a rant. Of course, if by "freshly-built version of Python", you mean you didn't run "make install" in any way, then it's your problem. Give "./configure" an appropriate non-root prefix and don't forget to run "make install" at the end. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
