Hello, By way of google I realize I am having what appears to be a pretty common issue install ez_setup.py on a PC (Windows XP, Python27).
I receive an error message that looks like the following: Installing easy_install-2.7.exe.manifest script to C:\Python27\Scripts Installed c:\python27\lib\site-packages\setuptools-3.5.1-py2.7.egg Processing dependencies for setuptools==3.5.1 Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 217, in <module> dist = setuptools.setup(**setup_params) File "C:\Python27\lib\distutils\core.py", line 152, in setup dist.run_commands() File "C:\Python27\lib\distutils\dist.py", line 953, in run_commands self.run_command(cmd) File "C:\Python27\lib\distutils\dist.py", line 972, in run_command cmd_obj.run() File "c:\docume~1\jason\locals~1\temp\tmpqpn4qe\setuptools-3.5.1\setuptools\co mmand\install.py", line 65, in run self.do_egg_install() File "c:\docume~1\jason\locals~1\temp\tmpqpn4qe\setuptools-3.5.1\setuptools\co mmand\install.py", line 115, in do_egg_install cmd.run() File "c:\docume~1\jason\locals~1\temp\tmpqpn4qe\setuptools-3.5.1\setuptools\co mmand\easy_install.py", line 360, in run self.easy_install(spec, not self.no_deps) File "c:\docume~1\jason\locals~1\temp\tmpqpn4qe\setuptools-3.5.1\setuptools\co mmand\easy_install.py", line 576, in easy_install return self.install_item(None, spec, tmpdir, deps, True) File "c:\docume~1\jason\locals~1\temp\tmpqpn4qe\setuptools-3.5.1\setuptools\co mmand\easy_install.py", line 627, in install_item self.process_distribution(spec, dist, deps) File "c:\docume~1\jason\locals~1\temp\tmpqpn4qe\setuptools-3.5.1\setuptools\co mmand\easy_install.py", line 673, in process_distribution [requirement], self.local_index, self.easy_install File "c:\docume~1\jason\locals~1\temp\tmpqpn4qe\setuptools-3.5.1\pkg_resources .py", line 633, in resolve requirements.extend(dist.requires(req.extras)[::-1]) File "c:\docume~1\jason\locals~1\temp\tmpqpn4qe\setuptools-3.5.1\pkg_resources .py", line 2291, in requires dm = self._dep_map File "c:\docume~1\jason\locals~1\temp\tmpqpn4qe\setuptools-3.5.1\pkg_resources .py", line 2277, in _dep_map for extra, reqs in split_sections(self._get_metadata(name)): File "c:\docume~1\jason\locals~1\temp\tmpqpn4qe\setuptools-3.5.1\pkg_resources .py", line 2715, in split_sections for line in yield_lines(s): File "c:\docume~1\jason\locals~1\temp\tmpqpn4qe\setuptools-3.5.1\pkg_resources .py", line 1989, in yield_lines for ss in strs: File "c:\docume~1\jason\locals~1\temp\tmpqpn4qe\setuptools-3.5.1\pkg_resources .py", line 2305, in _get_metadata for line in self.get_metadata_lines(name): File "c:\docume~1\jason\locals~1\temp\tmpqpn4qe\setuptools-3.5.1\pkg_resources .py", line 1369, in get_metadata_lines return yield_lines(self.get_metadata(name)) File "c:\docume~1\jason\locals~1\temp\tmpqpn4qe\setuptools-3.5.1\pkg_resources .py", line 1361, in get_metadata return self._get(self._fn(self.egg_info, name)) File "c:\docume~1\jason\locals~1\temp\tmpqpn4qe\setuptools-3.5.1\pkg_resources .py", line 1425, in _get return self.loader.get_data(path) zipimport.ZipImportError: bad local file header in c:\python27\lib\site-packages \setuptools-3.5.1-py2.7.egg Something went wrong during the installation.
