Sorry if I lack the information related to why there is now a fork. But
does this mean that setuptools is becoming a dead project - as in no more
fixes/commits? Or, is there going to be two separate tools - setuptools
and distribute/setuptools2 - that will have ongoing releases?
In anycase, I wish the new project succeed and bring some good parts of
setuptools (eg: pkg_resources/Distribution-related) to the stdlib. :-)

Hello,
We have started a new project called 'Distribute'. It's a fork of
setuptools and its initial purpose will be to tackle
the most annoying bugs found in setuptools 0.6c9 version.
A first version will be released as soon as possible (probably next
monday) and a document will explain how to migrate
from setuptools. This should be fairly easy.
The next step of the project will be some cleanup and a split in two
distinct distributions:
- one that contains only pkg_resources
- one with the setuptools package.
The project is here : http://bitbucket.org/tarek/setuptoolsbranch
We have an issue tracker there where you can add feature requests and
bugs.
Since its a DVCS repo, anyone is welcome to contribute patches.
Regards
Hanno, Chris, Tarek, and some other folks...
