In any case, the update is not intended for people who are happy to have Distribute, but the people who are unhappy about having to switch, or deal with its workarounds... or just wish the whole discussion would go away.
Thanks P.J. very much for this release of setuptools. I'm one of those who'd prefer not to switch to distribute until it has matured and built up a reputation for responsible stewardship of the technology. When it does, great I'm there but until then setuptools does what I need without hassle.
The fall-down was in the testing done before the Python release and I'm sure more testing will be done in that area before the 2.6.4 bugfix release.
Not really - according to the emails on this list, the incompatibility was found _before_ the 2.6.3 release and it was decided so what let things break. More testing would _not_ have prevented this problem.
Too little, too late, no thanks, I'll just be sticking with Distribute from now on. Several developers and an open development process vs a lone coder with a closed codebase? That's not really a choice at all...
Sorry, it doesn't look like anyone wants to play with you any more; you can just keep your ball.
Please don't speak for others - it's rude. Only speak for yourself. -Jeff
