This appears to be another instance of being bitten by the Apple Leopard Python sys.path misfeature. In short, the Apple-supplied Python for 10.5 ships with the older version of setuptools and, because of the order of directories on its sys.path, the older version is always found first. Jack suggests a workaround in this thread: <http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.apple/13850> So you could try putting a .pth hack for the newer setuptools into one of the directories on sys.path as he suggests. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
