This is not really an option since distutils code was modified to fix some bugs, with no API change and no backward compat break. Users affected with this problems have to ask the Setuptools maintainer to change the monkey-patches done on distutils and release a new version, or have to use Distribute that fixes the problem and provide a setuptools-compatible distribution. As far as Distutils is concerned, its development and bug fixes will not be frozen to make sure a 1 year old release of a tool that does monkey-patches still work. It's up to this project to adapt its patches. ---------- resolution: -> rejected stage: -> committed/rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7064> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
