I did the following: 1. Downloaded ez_setup.py 2. Downloaded the setuptools-0.6a10-py2.4.egg 3. Downloaded the pysqlite-2.0.6-py2.4-linux-i686(2).egg
Transferred all the files to the computer which is behind a firewall (with no access to the internet). I then did the following: path_to_python ez_setup.py setuptools-0.6a10-py2.4.egg it failed even though the setuptools-0.6a10-py2.4.egg was in the same directory. It gives me an error: urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error (-2, 'Name or service not known') I looked at the documentation and it talked about a -f flag which allows you to specify the directory to look for the files and that did not work either. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
