Hi,
Sphinx is a documentation production module. You can find it at 
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Sphinx. I was trying to follow the instructions for 
installing modules from http://docs.python.org/install/index.html. It looked 
straight forward. When I went to install Sphinx, though, I saw a number of 
files with an extension of .egg. I didn't know what to do with them. The bottom 
file has an extension that indicates that it's a tar, zipped file. That one is 
a source file. I'm a bit stumped. Can anyone talk me through this?

Thanks.

Jim
