Replying to geal:

@zooko: Yes, this is a recent bug. Is there a specific reason why the setuptools version is forced?

What do you mean, "forced"?

  • Ticket #182 – Description

    v14 v18  
    1 My Mom wants to see some home movies of my children playing in the back yard.  Even though our [source:README] is very well written, it is still far beyond her ken to build Tahoe from source.  How could she get Tahoe installed on her home computer, which is a PowerPC G5 running Mac OS 10.3.9?

    33One way is that I could upload a binary .egg and instruct her in how to install Python 2.5.1 and easy_install and then how to run "easy_install allmydata-tahoe".  However, the dependent libraries like Nevow and Twisted and so forth wouldn't get automatically installed by easy_install so that wouldn't quite work.
