[tahoe-dev] easy_install failure on vista: Could not import twisted.

[Nathan]

Hey folks,

I'm installing tahoe on a fairly fresh Vista box.  I'm not very
familiar with Vista, easy_install, or installing tahoe any way except
"in place", so I figure it's a good QA opportunity.

It looks like easy_install dies because twisted isn't installed.  If
it is a dependency, shouldn't easy_install recursively install it?

Here's the command prompt session:
