I don't know how PyPi or setuptools handle that case. Interestingly if you search PyPi you just find "http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Babel/"; which points to "my" (pybabel) package. I assume that "your" babel package is named half-decently but somehow the upstream scre the EGG-INFO name. > For now and the lenny release, it seems we need to make the packages > conflict.
