pypi and easy_install

[Giampaolo Rodola']

Hi,
I noticed tonight that I can't download/install a package of mine
hosted on pypi by using easy_install.
By running "ez_setup.py pyftpdlib" I get:

--- snippet --

....which are very weird since, as you can see by looking here:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyftpdlib/0.2.0
....I provided a download url and easy_install SHOULD know where to get
the package.
Could someone point me in the right direction?

Could someone point me in the right direction?

download_url = 'http://code.google.com/p/pyftpdlib/downloads/list',

you'll need to specify the full path to the actual archive, a link
that one could use to download the archive, not just point it to web
page that contains links

this is from looking at your setup.py here:

You're right, the setup.py included in the tarball reports an invalid
download url.
I fixed the issue in setup.py and used "setup.py register" for
uploading the new package on pypi again.
As you can see from here:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi?name=pyftpdlib&version=0.2.0&:action=display_pkginfo
....now the download url is correct, but the problem still remains. :-\

Found the culprit.
That's because my download URL points to
http://pyftpdlib.googlecode.com/files/pyftpdlib_0.2.0.tar.gz, which
is not a valid distutils-generated filename.
A valid filename for pytftpdblib would be pyftpdlib-0.2.0.tar.gz.
