As of this release, the installation instructions have been changed to support installation via RPM, .exe (Windows) or "sh setuptools-whatever.egg". In other words, ez_setup.py is no longer needed or recommended for user installation of setuptools.
Prior to the final release of setuptools 0.6, I intend to update ez_setup to do one or both of the following things: 1. It will detect and download the current stable setuptools release from the Cheeseshop, AND/OR 2. It will instruct the user to visit the cheeseshop page and follow the installation instructions there. I'm not sure yet which is the best approach, so I'll probably just do both. :) I'd like to hear some input, but no "voting" please; just explain your rationale one way or the other, with detailed information about your situation/use cases. Thanks! _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
