The fork was merged back, so for a fresh installation of Python just install setuptools. The 0.7.3 package updates an existing distribute installation to the latest version of setuptools. ===> That's good to know. I always thought that setuptools had become sort of obsolete (though still widely used). So would it be fair to conclude that setuptools is now the winner of all those packaging tools? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6344076/differences-between-distribute-distutils-setuptools-and-distutils2
I checked distutils2 on pypi. Last updated March 2012 IIRC. Died during alpha phase, it seems. I tried it once but experienced problems with a very basic script. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
