Basically, all it's needed is to import from setuptools 'setup' and 'Extension', instead of the ones from distutils. But, doing the change, it would make sense to use its features like the list of requirements and optional dependencies. I'll try to do it in the week end; it's really time to switch to setuptools, with its advanced features (that I don't know how to use, but that's another story ;-) > I'm confused about the distinctions between > distutils/setuptools/easy_install. Me too; I've found two presentations about it: http://ianbicking.org/docs/setuptools-presentation/ http://meatballhat.com/py/FrizzleFry/ > And, would supporting that help anyone other than developers? Not sure (easy_install works even without a setup.py, seeking for the package on PyPI), but if it's useful for the developers it's already enough. :-) -- Davide Alberani <davide.alber...@gmail.com> [PGP KeyID: 0x465BFD47] http://erlug.linux.it/~da/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
