Did you mean that the bug is that PyPI won't accept a zipped source distribution? To me, your message read like it was saying that (distutils) producing a zip source distribution file without --format was a bug. So (if the former is what you meant) would a workaround for now be to do something like: setup.py sdist --format=gztar upload ? =Tony.Meyer -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
