By the way, I missed this line in your email before: you should *not* pass dist as the second argument here. That method is looking for a pkg_resources.Distribution, not a distutils.Distribution.
ok, this one works now (btw: either with "dist" or without it. but i've removed it, as you've suggested).
distutils.Distribution (and setuptools.dist.Distribution) represent *source* distributions that have not been built yet.
ok
pkg_resources.Distribution objects represent *built* and *importable* distributions. They have different data structures and behaviors. distutils Distribution objects have data and methods for running commands and building, while pkg_resources.Distribution objects know about import locations, entry points, package versions, and things like that. You can't pass a distutils Distribution into *any* pkg_resources APIs, or vice versa -- they are utterly incompatible objects.
I have missed the existence of "pkg_resources.Distribution" totally (was looking on "setuptools.dist.Distribution / disutils.Distribution" ) are "pkg_resources.Distribution" objects finally the internal representation of eggs? . -- http://lazaridis.com
