By the way, it appears that easy_install correctly locates and 
downloads your numscons 0.3.4 egg now, so I assume all is well.  The 
egg that you had previously did not appear to be a validly-built egg; 
specifically, it did not appear to have been built by bdist_egg, or 
if it was, it appeared to have been altered by some other zipfile tool.
