windows egg installation fails due to inability to recognize dependencies about pygep HOT 6 CLOSED

A clarification: note that the installation of PyGEP succeeds, but setuptools 
tries
to install python2.5 from source.  Once it downloads the tarball and fails to 
install
python 2.5 (or worse: doesn't fail), PyGEP should be installed properly.  That 
said,
this is the absolute wrong thing to do.

Added a workaround for this in v0.1.3.  Will submit the issue to the setuptools 
folks.

Reopening the issue so I will actually take care of it.  The cheesecake folks 
are
running with python 2.4, and (of course it doesn't install).  However, it 
wouldn't
even download if I could set the dependencies properly instead of raising an 
error.

It appears we'll just have to make do for the time being, though apparently
setuptools will be a bit more graceful raising SystemExit instead of Exception. 
 That
will go in 0.3.0.
