Hi, I'm having a problem with buildout.
My system has setuptools 0.6c5 installed. The buildout bootstrap.py script doesn't install the latest version,
No, It will use the existing setuptools installation if there is one.
and nor does running bin/buildout. The result is that the Routes install fails with The required version of setuptools (>=0.6c6) is not available, ...
I tried to reproduce this, but was unable to.
The problem seems to be that bootstrap.py creates a link for setuptools in develop-eggs. Why would that be?
Is your existing installation of setuptools a develop egg? Buildout always prefers develop eggs that satisfies a requirement, so if you started with a develop egg of setuptools, it won't be upgraded to a later version unless you specifially request one.
