Description

When trying to install django by using python setup.py install, the automatic downloader fails with a 404 error, because the URL it tries to download doesn't exist anymore.

The URL is http://cheeseshop.python.org/packages/2.3/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6a10-py2.3.egg

System:
Debian Stable 3.1
Python v2.3

As of [3906] we are using the standard Python distutils for setup.py, rather than setuptools. It was partly to combat problems as reported here. So this is no longer an issue.
