Hello guys, In order to use projects like Turbogears with IronPython (I'm at a Turbogears sprint) we need setuptools to work. In order for setuptools to work we need zipimport - which is a builtin module in Python.
The Jython guys have setuptools working... (only the Genshi package is blocking Turbogears from working on Jython.) Having setuptools working on IronPython is becoming increasingly important as it becomes the standard distribution and installation mechanism for Python packages. I'm looking at a pure Python version of zipimport (provided by Guido for use on the AppEngine). It doesn't work unmodified but should be easy enough to get working as a stopgap measure. I've added a comment to codeplex issue 391: http://www.codeplex.com/IronPython/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=391 Michael Foord -- http://www.ironpythoninaction.com/
