Here's a detailed explanation of the problem: http://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/41
I doubt setuptools will be fixed and released any soon for that. The project didn't see any commit from his maintainer since a year, and he doesn't want anyone else that wish to help to take over to do so. That's why we created a fork called Distribute that tries to fix the bugs founded in this project. So there are two options for projects that build extensions: - use plain distutils - switch to Distribute 0.6.x. -- building of python C extensions with setuptools is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/428004 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
