Just a heads-up for all you Windows users out there…

setuptools is having some trouble installing PyXML and PyCrypto under Windows. So you will have to do it manually, as I did. And since Windows doesn’t come with any compiler installed by default (**cough**inferiorproprietygarbage**coughcough**), you’ll have to install one yourself (I myself used MinGW32). MinGW32 works well and is free and open-source. So you’ll be fine. Just download the automated installer for it, then download the source tarballs for PyXML and PyCrypto, and run python setup.py build -c mingw32 && python setup.py install –skip-build for each of them, then proceed with last.tag’s normal installation procedures (which would be something like python setup.py install, if I remember correctly). If you all are wondering why the heck I’m telling you this when a release isn’t even available yet, you should know you can always just install from the latest svn snapshot at https://lasttag.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/lasttag/. Just don’t expect it to work.
