I need a copy of this library installed on my system because my software depends on this library.

Unfortunately, at the moment, it's impossible install it trough easy_install:

andrea@puzzle:~$ sudo easy_install Unipath
[sudo] password for andrea: 
Searching for Unipath
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/Unipath/
Reading http://sluggo.scrapping.cc/python/unipath/
Download error: (-2, 'Name or service not known') -- Some packages may not be found!

Best match: Unipath 0.2.0
Downloading http://sluggo.scrapping.cc/python/unipath/Unipath-0.2.0.tar.gz
error: Download error for http://sluggo.scrapping.cc/python/unipath/Unipath-0.2.0.tar.gz: (-2, 'Name or service not known')

I think that something weird happened on the DNS entry of sluggo.scrapping.cc. How can I get this library?

I searched for a mirror on google but I didn't find it. Do you know if there is a another place from where I can download this library?

Or ... do you have a copy of this library and you can send it to me?

A: 

I found this newsgroup post written my Mike Orr (the creator of Unipath). In the last sentence he says that he's moving the project from the old server to Bitbucket. So may be that the problem will be fixed when the moving is finished.

Mike Orr message is dated March 10 2009, at the time of writing March 29 2009 I can see yet the source code on http://bitbucket.org/sluggo/unipath

Workaround

I found an .egg file in the backup archive of old system of mine. I uploaded the file on the internet.

But I think it solve the problem only for those people who have python 2.5. To install it use:

easy_install http://trash-cli.googlecode.com/files/Unipath-0.2.1-py2.5.egg

I hope the problem on the sluggo.scrapping.cc server would be soon fixed.

Maybe this link can help:

http://pypi.zestsoftware.nl/unipath/

Thanks for your help, but it doesn't works. The website you provided has three promising links, but the first gives an 404, and the second and the third give an Internal Server Error! Incredible.

I contacted the original author who confirmed me that there was a problem with the DNS entry and he's going to solve it.

He also uploaded the latest tarball to pypi, so now you can install it with easy_install Unipath.
