Imo, setup.py is not a release blocker for Leo 5.0 final. However, because of ongoing controversy, I plan to release Leo 5.0-rc1 later today, after fixing one more bug. This release will be for final testing only: it will only be announced here.
Here is what I think I know about the present setup.py, with simple=False: 1. Afaik, both of the following work on both Ubuntu and Windows with recent (and present) versions of setup.py: - [distutils] python setup.py install - [pip] pip install leo In particular, distutils installs scripts and executables that work on both platforms. 2. When using disutils, the leo folder is not unpacked to the site-packages folder (Windows) or dist-packages folder (Ubuntu), but instead remains inside the egg folder. This is unusual and downright annoying, and may cause problems for some people. 3. Setting simple = True in setup.py does *not* work: not nearly enough files or folders are included.
