Thanks for the work both you and PJE have put into making this happen :) The pieces of Python's improved packaging story start to come together...

Without knowing what exactly they considered friendlier, I'm not sure what to suggest. Even if you use a GUI to install setuptools, it's not going to do you much good without getting to a command line! ___ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
Re: [Distutils] Announcing Setuptools 0.7b3
I'll be sure to address that before the final release. I have been tempted to just support sdist installs and follow the technique that Distribute used, except for this one comment I heard in person by a newer Windows user recently, that they still hear that Setuptools is still considered friendlier than Distribute. But if PJE is on board with source installs, now is a good time for that switch, so let's do it. > -Original Message- > From: PJ Eby [mailto:p...@telecommunity.com] > Sent: Saturday, 25 May, 2013 18:45 > To: Jason R.

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.

[Distutils] Announcing Setuptools 0.7b3
Setuptools and Distribute are now merged, and the new home can be found at https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools. Issues for Distribute are still being maintained at its old home, but releases are now made from the 'distribute' fork on the setuptools repo. Future releases of Distribute (if any) will be maintenance only. The new setuptools, which is designed to be largely compatible both with Distribute and Setuptools can now be downloaded on the 'downloads' page of the PyPA site: https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/downloads For those familiar with setuptools/distribute, the upgrade process is pretty straightforward: remove your old versions of distribute and/or setuptools and install the latest. To install the latest, extract the .tar.gz, and run setup.py in the target environment. Windows .msi installers have been provided as well. Ez_setup.py will not yet work until the official release is made to PyPI. I encourage all of those with experience or interest in packaging to try out the new setuptools in your environments. Test it against your tool chain. Provide feedback and file issues in the project site. This limited public release is provided as an advance release prior to the full public release. Assuming there are no reported blocking issues, a final 0.7 release will be made to PyPI in the coming weeks.
