What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run "pip install rdflib==2.4.2"

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

It should install RDFLib version 2.4.2. Instead, it gives
the error "ReadError: not a gzip file".

This is because PyPi points to a broken download URL:

http://rdflib.net/rdflib-2.4.2.tar.gz

That page used to fetch the tarball but now redirects to the
rdflib.net home page.

You can see the URLs listed by PyPi here:

http://pypi.python.org/simple/rdflib/

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Python 2.7.2, Mac OS X 10.6.8

This IS broken - Eikeon removed the files it seems. I will prod him to get them back. I was thinking recreating them from tags would be easy, but seems we are lacking tags for both 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 - 2.4.1 was at least in svn, I've uploaded a 2.4.1.tar.gz to pypi from this tag:

http://rdflib.googlecode.com/svn/tags/2.4.1/

I will dig into svn logs to find 2.4.2 soon

I lost the ability to serve from the naked rdflib.net domain when I moved to the combination of route53 and google app engine. So they are now being served from the corresponding www.rdflib.net URL.

For example, http://rdflib.net/rdflib-2.4.2.tar.gz is now at:

http://www.rdflib.net/rdflib-2.4.2.tar.gz

We can fix the pypi metadata or better yet upload it to pypi.

Thanks Eikeon! I've uploaded this to pypi and removed the old link. I've also uploaded it here on google code.

Easy_install'ing works for me now. Reopen if it's still broken for you Trey.
