My understanding (and I would guess, that of the OS distributors' as well) was *also* based on the premise that distribute was going to track with setuptools' feature additions and bug fixes, which it clearly has not. The 0.6c11 release (last October) fixed a rather long list of bugs besides the one you reported; does anyone know if the rest are actually fixed in Distribute?
There is another potential issue with the edit mode, but I have not been able to track it down yet, and as such have not reported it (nor checked if it was already reported). Basically, easy_install -eNb somedir somepackage does not always work, with some strange error. I cannot always reproduce it. David
