[Distutils] Problems using easy_install to download my module

[P.J. Eby]

Seems to work fine for me.  Perhaps you hadn't uploaded the source at 
that point?

If you want to use SourceForge's download system, you need to include 
a link to the files-listing page as your downloads URL, as 
easy_install doesn't follow arbitrary links, it just picks up 
*direct* download links on the pages specified as the URL and 
download URL of your package in setup.py.
