The final few issues require some changes to setuptools itself:o usage of os.chmod. most uses are actually wrapped in an os.name == 'posix', or except AttributeError checks, but one was missed (Jython lacks os.chmod)
o a unit test assumed CPython dict ordering I've attached a patch against the 0.6 branch for both of these issues.Though there's one more issue that'll be more difficult to deal with: setuptools uses marshal.load to read variables (via co_names and co_consts) from a module's bytecode (pyc/o) without importing it. Jython and IronPython don't compile to .pyc, nor do their code objects support co_names and co_consts, so this isn't portable.
marshal.load is used in a couple places:o setuptools.depends.extract_constant, which is only used in setuptools by Require.get_version(). I don't know when this is used or what it's used for
o to find un-zip_safe variables/calls when a distribution doesn't specify zip_safetyness. Probably the easiest way to deal with this is to just fallback to zip_safe=False on these platforms
