distribute (I'll see about making an SPKG).
At this point I'd like to point you to SPKG.txt and actually read it:
{{{
= setuptools =
== Description ==
setuptools is a collection of enhancements to the Python distutils (for
Python 2.3.5 and up on mo
st platforms; 64-bit platforms require a minimum of Python 2.4) that allow
you to more easily bui
ld and distribute Python packages, especially ones that have dependencies
on other packages.
Website: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/
The present spkg is based on the fork of setuptools known as distribute.
Website: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute
}}}
And
{{{
=== setuptools-0.6.16 (Francois Bissey, June 1, 2011) ===
* Switch to the "distribute" fork of setuptools and update to 0.6.16,
* adopt a Gentoo patch to avoid warnings with python-2.7 (works with 2.6
too).
* Remove the two windows binaries and patch so setup.py doesn't
try to install them.
}}}
This was a pre-requisite to the upgrade to python-2.7.3. Fell free to
upgrade to a newer version of distribute and change the name if you want
too.
