Congratulations, and thanks to the PyPA developers for coming together to produce this unified release. FWIW, I was just able to update a setuptools 0.6 virtualenv via: $ bin/easy_install -U https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/downloads/setuptools-0.7b3.tar.gz For a distribute-based virtualenv, I had to delete the 'distribute' entry in 'site-pacakges' after running the 'easy_install' command.
