AFAICT this is a new problem (at least I don't recognize it). Just to clarify I did submit fixes for all the issues we encountered (to both setuptools and simplejson), we were just waiting for the setuptools-0.6c9 release, which was overdue anyway. That's been out for over a month now. Maybe we should reconsider dropping it -- I don't like a lot of dependencies either -- but first I'd like to know what the actual problem is here. -- Philip Jenvey --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
