zipimport.ZipImportError: not a Zip file

I'm guessing that easy_install is finding the instance of nose already installed, and trying to use that, which is not a zipped egg (but is an egg).

The traceback threw me, the exception is actually in zc.buildout.easy_install

Yeah, wrt finding a non-zipped egg. I'm not sure why it's looking in a
local directory. I'll add a check to make sure it's a file.

I don't really know what to make of the traceback. I don't know what would cause that, not have I seen anything like it.

Thanks for reporting this. It is fixed in b11.

I wasn't able to reproduce the weird traceback.
