Re: Small Issue installing Extremes with pip

The Extremes-1.1.1.zip on PyPI contains the necessary ez_setup code, 
so I don't understand what the problem is.  If the problem occurs 
with pip but not easy_install, then it's a bug in pip, not in 
Extremes.  (Extremes is only distributed as a sdist, so both 
easy_install and pip would be installing from the same source.)
