-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Why would a "bootstrap" fail due to missing / less-than-required version of setuptools in the host python? The bootstrap should be self-contained enough to make things work no matter what, since the point is too build an environment which doesn't rely on anything beyond a "bare" Python install.
$ svn co $ZSVN/Acquisition/trunk Aq-trunk ... $ cd Aq-trun $ /path/to/python2.6 bootstrap/bootstrap.py The required version of setuptools (>=0.6c11) is not available, and can't be installed while this script is running. Please install a more recent version first, using 'easy_install -U setuptools'.
