PyDispatcher on sourceforge doesn't play nice with easy_install

Hi All,

Using easy_install to get PyDispatcher results in:

Searching for PyDispatcher
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/PyDispatcher/
Reading http://pydispatcher.sourceforge.net
Reading https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=79755
Reading http://sourceforge.net/projects/pydispatcher/files/pydispatcher/
Best match: PyDispatcher 2.0.1
Downloading 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pydispatcher/files/pydispatcher/2.0.1/PyDispatcher-2.0.1-py2.5.egg/download
Processing download
error: Couldn't find a setup script in /tmp/easy_install-ioAdEo/download

Who's the maintainer of PyDispatcher nowadays? Would be handy if they 
removed the sourceforge link from pypi.

In the meantime, the following works around the problem:

easy_install PyDispatcher -H *.python.org

cheers,

Chris
