I'll take a look at this. Thanks. It has to be a stupid error on my part.
I cannot get that exception to occur here, but I must have run into it at one point, because the exact fix you suggested was sitting, uncommitted, on my Ubuntu machine. I've checked it in and released version 0.5.2. Since it only affects the long description (which people rarely seem to read anyway), I'm not inclined spend a lot of time debugging it. I'll stick with the hack solution.
Thanks, that fixed it!
With both easy_install and running setup.py manually, I receive the following traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 41, in
info = load_info()
File "setup.py", line 38, in load_info
result['long_description'] = DESCRIPTION
NameError: global name 'DESCRIPTION' is not defined
Adding a default DESCRIPTION value to setup.py fixes it, but I'm pretty sure we shouldn't be hitting the 'except' clause on line 37, so there may also be a better fix possible.
