What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Have a Mac with MacOS X 10.5.7 2. run easy_install simplejson 3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect simplejson to install, but I get this:

bash-3.2# easy_install simplejson Searching for simplejson Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/simplejson/ Reading http://undefined.org/python/#simplejson Best match: simplejson 2.0.9 Downloading http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/simplejson/simplejson- 2.0.9.tar.gz#md5=af5e67a39ca3408563411d357e6d5e47 Processing simplejson-2.0.9.tar.gz Running simplejson-2.0.9/setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir /tmp/easy_install- GrQf4U/simplejson-2.0.9/egg-dist-tmp-z85W5L No eggs found in /tmp/easy_install-GrQf4U/simplejson-2.0.9/egg-dist-tmp-z85W5L (setup script problem?)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

simplejson 2.0.9 on MacOS X 10.5.7

Please provide any additional information below.

See output from "easy_instal -vvv simplejson" in the attachment. python version is 2.5.1

I have no idea why that doesn't work, it works fine if you untar it and run setup.py install. It must be due to the ancient versions of stuff that ship with OS X.

r190 (after some other changes to setup.py) seems to work. problem with stock Mac OS X 10.5 should go away after 2.1.0 is released
