But before you do that, be sure to uninstall Distribute completely
Damn if I understand this...such a long time waiting for all these bug fixes...so little action, so much angst... Then that all that effort going into the Distribute fork, so much effort expended carefully working around so that Distribute would be a bug-fixed, drop-in replacement for the orphaned setuptools. Then suddenly out of the blue, everything is fixed in setuptools 06c10 and we must "uninstall Distribute completely" get these fixes. If the changes you made really were superior in any way, I trust that Tarek and co. are smart, and egoless enough to see that and will make those changes part of Distribute. Too little, too late, no thanks, I'll just be sticking with Distribute from now on. S
