Well good news is I got further on it. I figured out the setuptools egg didn't have an EGG-INFO directory, it was named setuptools.egg-info instead of just EGG-INFO (not sure why?)
But now I'm stuck with
We have no distributions for cns.recipe.symlink that satisfies 'cns.recipe.symlink==0.2.3'.
But cns.recipe.symlink is in my find-files URL for sure.
