Some parts of setuptools will work, and some parts won't. It's been a while since I looked into it, so I can't remember exatly what doesn't work. I do know, however, that ez_setup.py doesn't work correctly. If you install setuptools manually - download a tarball and drop it into a folder on sys.path - you should be able to run your setup.py and see if still breaks.. Long term, though, I think you're going to want to get away from setuptools - it hasn't been maintained in a while, and there's work afoot to add a good chunk of it's features to distutils in the satndard library to ensure long term maintenance. - Jeff _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
