As stated in the docs:
Quote: In the simplest case,
python setup.py sdist(assuming you haven’t specified any sdist options in the setup script or config file), sdist creates the archive of the default format for the current platform. The default format is a gzip’ed tar file (.tar.gz) on Unix, and ZIP file on Windows.
You can specify as many formats as you like using the --formats option, for example:
python setup.py sdist --formats=gztar,zipto create a gzipped tarball and a zip file.
as a side note you can open tar files on widows
OK, your tip works as far as getting the 'vsearch-1.0.zip' into the dist directory. So now I'm supposed to be able to access vsearch module from any location on my computer if I understand. Still a no go, and I can't find help online, nor does the book have anything to say about figuring out the error.
