Re: [Fab-user] Install fails on Mac OS X

[Christian Vest Hansen]

Yes, the binary distribution are broken for everyone but those who
have installed python with fink on a Mac (dunno if it has to 10.4 or
not).

The work-around is to get the source distribution:

$ sudo easy_install
http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/F/Fabric/Fabric-0.0.5.tar.gz

Next time I release I'll try to only upload a source distribution.
Hopefully that'll clear things up.
