Ronald Oussoren added the comment: pyvenv won't install setuptools because setuptools is not a stdlib package. Having packaging would have been nice, but that library was not in a good enough shape for the 3.3 release.
I don't understand what you try to do in the second traceback. Installing distribute works fine though: 1) Create environment using pyvenv: $ pyenv myenv 2) Download distribute archive from PyPI 3) Extract this archive 4) Install: $ cd distribute-0.6.28; ../pyenv/bin/python setup.py install If you have a setup.py file where you want to use the distribute package you can use distribute_setup, as described in <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute/#distribute-setup-py>. I'm using this in my own packages and this works fine with pyvenv as well. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15790> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
