I had no trouble what-so-ever on ubuntu. Windows is just tricky because of its nature. It was actually kind of fun to figure out, but I'm a nerd that loves a problem :> I didn’t even notice the compiled releases! I had no trouble what-so-ever on ubuntu.

Whilst this is a setuptools/distutil/platform specific issue, there are two possible solutions whilst the dev env is sorted out: 1) Run `python setup.py install --disable-ext` which will disable building the extension altogether. Not useful if you want to explicitly use cpyamf, but will provide a working lib using pure python. Or .. 2) Download the egg appropriate to your platform/python version - available at http://download.pyamf.org/releases. You should also be able to get the appropriate egg using easy_install. The egg provides a compiled version of cpyamf ready to use. Eggs for all platforms/versions that we support are not yet up there - we will add these as we build them. Thanks for the great article!
