Comment 11 for bug 218276

You could but the problem is that current version of setuptools does not work at all under x64 Win. I think it would be a good idea to add a comment to this bug http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue2 maybe they will commit the bug and make a new release faster.

Also, regarding my previous post - I think the issue is not due to the slashes. I will test on another platform to see if there is a bug in pychecker.
