Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment: Before we start pointing fingers or throwing mud, was this bug fix which apparently breaking setuptools introduced knowing that this would break setuptools users?
I'm surprised that nobody at all tried to use the release candidate with any of the listed packages. Given the number of packages that use setuptools and have been widely distributed, I expect that even if a fixed version of setuptools was released tomorrow, the damage would already be done, and most people would just have to avoid 2.6.3. How hard would it be to release a 2.6.4 which differs from 2.6.3 only by not breaking existing setuptools distros? ---------- nosy: +gvanrossum _______________________________________ 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
