Does not buildout

[Jonathan Lange]

If you have a fresh checkout of lazr.restfulclient and then run:
  $ python bootstrap.py
  $ ./bin/buildout

The buildout command will fail, trying to find lazr.restful 0.16.

It's *possible* that this is because it's not visible on the download page given in PyPI.

Workaround is to have a local buildout cache, manually download 0.16 from https://launchpad.net/lazr.restful/+download?memo=10&start=10 and put it in the cache.

Put this file in ~/.buildout/default.cfg:

[buildout]
eggs-directory=/home/<<username>>/.buildout/eggs
download-cache=/home/<<username>>/.buildout/download-cache

And store the downloaded tarball in ~/.buildout/download-cache/dist.

It would appear to be a result of using Launchpad to host the
lazr.restfulclient downloads. The LP download page is batched and
setuptools/distribute don't spider the target of the PyPI "Download URL"
link (thank goodness). The 0.16.0 release was pushed off the first page
of downloads so it is no longer available.

In the short run I will set lazr.restfulclient to use a newer
lazr.restful. In the long run we should change the way downloads are
presented if we want people to use LP to host Python packages.
Otherwise we should move the lazr package downloads to PyPI.

This has been fixed. No release was made because this is purely a development-time issue.
