What steps will reproduce the problem?

From an installed version 0.9.5:
1. sudo easy_install --upgrade googlecl

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The .zip that easy_install grabs is Windows-only, and contains files to run 
googlecl as an executable. Unfortunately, I don't know how to help beyond that. 
If you can somehow specify the extension that easy_install looks for, that 
could do it. Or if you can point it towards the .tar.gz file that you download 
yourself?

I believe that updating the files on Pypi might resolve the problem.  I see 
only 0.9.5 listed there

You should be able to use easy_install again. Thanks for the heads-up, and let 
me know if something goes awry.
