Just like the counterparts in setuptools this only works if you pass it a path that has a PKG-INFO or .egg-info directly in that folder. The problem is, with many packages those are not in the root folder of the package after doing a setup.py egg_info. Those packages normally use the "package_dir" argument to their setup call in setup.py, but that's information I can't get to, it's in the argument list for the setup call. jens -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAkxXwEYACgkQRAx5nvEhZLLuYACePk94ugHgdaHXN3kHP2k+91vq jHUAnA9QIvT89QqyILg8vIVQfrnwpoYv =i3gm -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
