Hi,

I'm trying to get SQLObject running on my Windows XP pro machine
using Python 2.4 (Enthought edition).

There seems to be something wrong with the setup script,
which I am running in the folder
C:\Documents and Settings\ps96\My Documents\SQLObject\FormEncode-0.4\

I think the setuptools install went OK.
Traceback is below.
could anyone with some knowledge of the setup procedure help
spot what has gone wrong? 

thanks,

Paul
