The missing tarball can be found under http://www.rdflib.net/rdflib-2.4.0.tar.gz

I have updated the link in pypi for 2.4.0 - please confirm that it works now?

Thanks for your reply

Now the previous error is no more there but a new error generated
error:Setup script existed with error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat

This is a problem with the old rdflib which requires a C compiler on windows machines.
I have no windows machine, and not much time to maintain the now quite old 2.4.0 release. Some pointers are here #104

You can also try changing rdfalchemy to use 2.4.2, which on longer requires a compiler - and should be almost compatible to 2.4.0 :)
