A simple solution for this problem would be to add a pth-file for the site-packages directory.
setuptools.pth: setuptools-0.6a2-py2.4.egg Another option is to pass the "setup.py install" command the "--old-and-unmanageable" option. This installs the package in the regular way. The pth file has the advantage that a user can install other setuptools versions without colliding with the debian package. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
