Install on Mac OS X fails

Confirmed -- this has been biting me too, on both OS X 10.4 (Python 2.3.5) and 10.5 (Python 2.4.3). I haven't been able to find out what this "setup_helper" module is supposed to be.

Ooops! I forgot to add setup_helper.py to the manifest. :)

Should be in @407.

So have you added the module? what does it do?

Thx,

It's a custom tar module for setup.py that John Arbash-Meinel wrote
for us, so paramiko's distribution tarball won't contain a bunch of
resource forks. It probably doesn't matter on other platforms.
