Install on Vista, Python Version 3.1.2 fails
Following the directions in the README.py3k does not result in a successful installation. I ran distribute_setup.py successfully. However attempting to run 'setup.py install' caused an error.
This is the text: running install running bdist_egg error: error in 'egg_base' option: 'lib' does not exist or is not a directory
I could not find anything in the FAQ or online regarding possible solutions.
Thanks for your help

repo owner possible bug in distribute ? maybe report with them.

Account Deleted I think you are right. I get the same issue installing on 2.6.5.

Account Deleted OP here, I believe the issue is related to this:
http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/3245
You may want to make a note in the documentation that if the installer can't find the directory or any eggs to retry the installation with the installation folder right on the c:\ drive. That fixed the problem for me.

repo owner the patch in the referenced ticket, which "fixed" the issue for them, doesn't seem to apply to us. We don't have any forward-slash logic or whatnot going on.
I also cannot reproduce the issue on a windows setup here on Python 2x, using a directory that is several subdirectories within c:. I really think someone should bundle up a full stack trace and everything else and report on the distribute bugtracker.

Account Deleted I managed to install it when I follow instructions in Wrong order :-)
First run python3 sa2to3.py --no-diffs -w lib test examples in installation directory (uncompress directory) Then python3 setup.py install (actually I did first python3 setup.py build and then install)
I have Windows 7 and Python 3.1.2
