setuptools/distutil and pywin32

[Giampaolo Rodola']

Hi,
I have a program which requires pywin32 as a dependancy and I'd like
to make setuptools automatically retrieve it from internet and install
it.
My setup.py script looks like this:


from setuptools import setup

setup(
...
...
install_requires = ['pywin32']
...
)

When I run setup.py install I get this error:


Processing dependencies for psutil==0.1.3
Searching for pywin32
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/pywin32/

Processing download
error: Not a recognized archive type: c:\users\giampa~1\appdata\local

I've googled a lot about this but it seems that as of right now it's
just not possible to install pywin32 via setuptools but it seems
pretty strange to me as it is a very important third party module.

Can someone confirm to me that there's no way to solve this problem?


Thanks in advance,
