That remark was in response to Tony's seemingly *x-centric suggestion
to use "setup.py --format=gztar" which would have presented some
difficulties to a Windows-only person. Perhaps I should have festooned
it with smileys. In any case it was nothing to do with the bug and
nothing to do with you. I think you need to suck *your* scone in,
cobber :-)
