Know that the new thing on the block is wheels. http://pythonwheels.com/ It's supposed to address the problems other systems have. It's too new for me to have an opinion. But I have a serious opinion about easy_install. It never worked properly. However, if you are about to evaluate it --- You may run into this problem. Lots of messages like this: (Because easy_install assumed you must have this, which isn't true of a lot of distributions) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/setuptools/sandbox.py", line 43, > in _execfile > exec(code, globals, locals) > File "/tmp/easy_install-PGpger/bioread-0.9.5/setup.py", line 3, in > <module> > ImportError: No module named ez_setup > If you get this, then install this one. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ez_setup (Just to save you some hassle if you collide with this problem in your evaluations).
