Determining version of easy_install/setuptools

Question

I\'m trying to install couchapp, which uses easy_install - and is quite explicit in stating a particular version of easy_install/setuptools is needed: 0.6c6. I seem to have

Answer 1

One way would be to look at the actual source file for easy_install. Do

which easy_install

to see where it's located, and then use that path in

less path/to/easy_install

The second line in my easy_install script says:

# EASY-INSTALL-ENTRY-SCRIPT: 'setuptools==0.6c11','console_scripts','easy_install'

which suggests that I have easy_install version 0.6c11.
