 Is the distribute project still alive? The reason I ask is that my
 recent experience is that bugs reported in setuptools are fixed very
 quickly, while there is no response from the distribute team.

 It does look as though development velocity on 'distribute' has slowed
 to a pace quite comparable to setuptools, with setuptools having the
 more recent release.  The two trackers are at:

   
 http://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issues?status=openstatus=newkind=bugsort=id

   http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/

 The bitbucket UI doesn't show recency of issue activity, which would
 make the two easier to compare.

 I'm -1 on preferring 'distribute' in any overt way in the ZTK.  Folks
 who want it can already use it when bootstrapping a buildout::
 
 I'll make sure this is put back on the ztk release team agenda.
 
 Note though that there was no intention to introduce creeping 
 dependencies on distribute other than preferring it over setuptools. I 
 guess we had the idea distribute was still all the rage.
 
 The Grok project also got a few reports of strange, hard to reproduce 
 installation problems (shutil not importable in some weird way for 
 example), when people were using setuptools (in combination with a 
 virtualenv, and zc.buildout 1.5.2) that were gone when they tried with 
 the distribute option.

AFAIK, zc.buildout = 1.5 is still flaky when used with a virtualenv,
which saddens me:  it damaged a feature I frequently used (virtualenv
compatibilty) in order to pursue one I strongly dislike (use with a
system python).

who want it can already use it when bootstrapping a buildout::

 $ /path/to/python bootstrap.py --distribute

 or when creating a virtualenv::

 $ /path/to/virtualenv --no-site-packages --distribute envdir

The ZTK should not grow any creeping dependencies on 'distribute'.
