[yt-users] Installing yt without hg

[david collins]

Hi there--

I'm on a system that has a pretty fierce firewall so that things like
pip, wget, and mercurial can't see the outside world through any http
based protocol.  I got the zips from a different machine and things
worked basically fine until I got to the bit where it tries to install
easy_install.  (error below)

Has anyone had experience with such a problem, and have suggestions
for getting around the need for a network connection?

Thanks,
d.
