Ah thanks, I could reproduce the problem indeed and put the entry_points.txt back into version control. I build all my different Python versions based on a zc.buildout, so obviously setuptools is installed globally in those, which makes them quite bad for working on setuptools itself. Luckily I have those system installed bad Python versions on the Mac, which I never touched :) Hanno _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
