Hi ,

I tried installing formencode from the svn source tarball and got the 
following trace  ( Python 2.5 , setuptools 0.7a1 ) :

running install
running bdist_egg
running egg_info
creating FormEncode.egg-info
writing requirements to FormEncode.egg-info\requires.txt
writing FormEncode.egg-info\PKG-INFO
writing top-level names to FormEncode.egg-info\top_level.txt
writing dependency_links to FormEncode.egg-info\dependency_links.txt
writing manifest file 'FormEncode.egg-info\SOURCES.txt'
reading manifest template 'MANIFEST.in'
