[Insight-users] SimpleITK 0.8 Release Candidate 1

[Randy Heiland]

Fwiw, the easy_install w/ URL approach didn't work for me:

$ sudo easy_install --upgrade -f http://sourceforge.net/projects/simpleitk/files/SimpleITK/0.8rc1/Python SimpleITK
Searching for SimpleITK
Reading http://sourceforge.net/projects/simpleitk/files/SimpleITK/0.8rc1/Python
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/SimpleITK/
Reading http://simpleitk.org/

Best match: SimpleITK 0.7.1.post1
Downloading http://sourceforge.net/projects/simpleitk/files/SimpleITK/0.7.1/Python/SimpleITK-0.7.1.post1-py2.7-macosx-10.7-intel.egg#ee42643dc5d5d88cc3577b1cf49d028a
Processing SimpleITK-0.7.1.post1-py2.7-macosx-10.7-intel.egg
removing '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/SimpleITK-0.7.1.post1-py2.7-macosx-10.7-intel.egg' (and everything under it)

In [2]: sitk.Version().VersionString()
Out[2]: '0.7.1.post1'

But, downloading/installing the egg directly worked:
$ sudo easy_install SimpleITK-0.8.0.rc1-py2.7-macosx-10.7-intel.egg 

In [2]: sitk.Version().VersionString()
Out[2]: '0.8.0rc1'

On OSX 10.8.
