Hi, I'm running a 64-bit Fedora Core 3 with python 2.3.4. I'm trying to install setuptools to use with Trac, and get the following error: [root at Mrdumpling ~]$ python ezsetup.py Downloading http://cheeseshop.python.org/packages/2.3/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6a4-py2.3.egg Traceback (most recent call last): File "ezsetup.py", line 206, in ? main(sys.argv[1:]) File "ezsetup.py", line 141, in main from setuptools.command.easyinstall import main OverflowError: signed integer is greater than maximum

I get the same type of error if I try installing setuptools manually. I figure this has to do with the 64-bit nature of the OS and python, but not being a python person, don't know what a workaround would be. Any ideas? Hm. It sounds like perhaps the 64-bit Python in question isn't able to read bytecode for Python from a 32-bit Python version. You'll need to download the setuptools source archive from PyPI and install it using "python setup.py install" instead. [Thanks for the quick response] I tried downloading and installing setuptools-0.6a4.zip with the same type of result:
