I'm pleased to announce the official release of Setuptools 0.7, now available for download from the project page https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools . Nothing has changed from the 0.7b4 pre-release. This is the version that will be uploaded to PyPI after we work out the technique to deploy to PyPI without interfering with the setuptools 0.6 releases. For convenience, I've also added experimental .msi installers for Windows for Python 3.3 and Python 2.7. Work may continue on these in the future, but as the documentation states, the recommended installation procedure is to use ez_setup.py. To install this latest release, follow the canonical install instructions (using ez_setup.py), but direct the script to use bitbucket instead of PyPI: python ./ez_setup.py --download-base=https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/downloads/ I'll send another announcement when the official release has been uploaded to PyPI and the ez_setup.py script can be used directly.
