This is a bugfix release to fix a few issues with 0.6b1. Please upgrade and test if you can, I'd like to release an 0.6 final soon. There are still a couple of known minor issues that I haven't addressed yet (error messages from ez_setup/easy_isntall reported here by Nathan Yergler), but I wanted to get this intermediate release out because of one serious bug that affects you if you install a package whose name begins with the word "import" on Windows -- e.g., my own "Importing" package, published recently on PyPI.
Anyway, the next release of 0.6 should be a release candidate, so please beat on this one hard to find any remaining bugs. I'd like to get started on 0.7 (and the "nest" tool suite) as soon as practical. (By the way: setuptools 0.6 is probably not going in the 2.5 stdlib; after lots of discussion on Python-Dev, it's fairly clear that some 0.7 release should be the earliest version to go in, once the "nest" tools are done. Practically speaking, that probably means waiting until Python 2.6, due to the lead time that would be needed to get adequate field testing of the "nest" tools once they're written.) _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
