[Distutils] Twisted and easy_install

[Jay Parlar]

I'm having trouble doing an install of the newest Twisted from the
Cheeseshop, using easy_install. I took a quick look through the
archives of distutils-sig, and couldn't find anything. I'm running on
OS X 10.3.9, latest version of setuptools (did an 'easy_install -U
setuptools' right before I tried installing Twisted). I've pasted the
result below. Any thoughts?

Searching for twisted

Couldn't find index page for 'twisted' (maybe misspelled?)
Scanning index of all packages (this may take a while)
