PIDDLE install problems

[dsavitsk]

I am trying to install PIDDLE (Win2k, 2.1.3 ).  I downloaded the recent .zip
file, unzipped it to C:\piddle-1.0.15, cd'd to that directory, typed "python
setup.py install" and received the following error.

...
copying src\piddle\python.gif -> C:\Python\piddle
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 28, in ?
    packages = ['piddle', 'piddle.piddleGTK', 'piddle.piddleSVG',
'piddle.piddle
TK2'] )
  File "C:\Python\lib\distutils\core.py", line 138, in setup
    dist.run_commands()
  File "C:\Python\lib\distutils\dist.py", line 899, in run_commands
    self.run_command(cmd)
  File "C:\Python\lib\distutils\dist.py", line 919, in run_command
    cmd_obj.run()
  File "C:\Python\lib\distutils\command\install.py", line 484, in run
    self.run_command(cmd_name)
  File "C:\Python\lib\distutils\cmd.py", line 328, in run_command
    self.distribution.run_command(command)
  File "C:\Python\lib\distutils\dist.py", line 919, in run_command
    cmd_obj.run()
  File "C:\Python\lib\distutils\command\install_data.py", line 60, in run
    dir = convert_path(f[0])
  File "C:\Python\lib\distutils\util.py", line 86, in convert_path
    if pathname[0] == '/':
IndexError: string index out of range

is this unusual (the same happened w/ 1.0.14), and does anyone know a way to
get around this, or why it is happening?

thanks,
