1. The latest release of setuptools solved the problem of scikits
2. Idle error log example:

>>> from pylab import *

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#10>", line 1, in <module>
    from pylab import *
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pylab.py", line 1, in <module>
    from matplotlib.pylab import *
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/__init__.py", line 96, in <module>
    import md5, os, re, shutil, sys, warnings
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/md5.py", line 8, in <module>
    DeprecationWarning, 2)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/warnings.py", line 29, in _show_warning
    file.write(formatwarning(message, category, filename, lineno, line))
TypeError: idle_formatwarning_subproc() takes exactly 4 arguments (5 given)

3. I have the feeling that python2.6 goes in the way of python 2.2 that had to pass two bug-fix revisions to be really stable.

Could not install packages of scikits: I got a strange error about unknown name: log It's a bug in the version of setuptools that you have. I believe it has been fixed in the latest release. But please, when you report an error message, copy-and-paste the traceback rather than paraphrasing it. > 2. When trying to run from "idle" warnings become errors. I think that is a bug of idle. Probably.
