You also need to patch zc.buildout.Buildout class, that has some harcoded calls to setuptools installation (like in the bootstrap method)
I've jsut made a bunch of changes to easy_install.py, buildout.py and egg.pyin r102547, can you see anything I missed?
I'll take a look asap
When a distribute egg gets released, I'll try running these tests and see what happens...
You should be able to use nightly.ziade.org/ as an egg source in the test fixture
How do I do that?
I am not sure :) depends on how zc.buildout test fixture works but nightly.ziade.org is a placeholder for eggs so it should be doable.
In any case, like Jim proposed, being able to pick setuptools *or* distribute eg removing the hardcoded installation sounds like a good idea
...but it's a lot more work.
I am pretty sure Jim will not want a simple s/setuptools/distribute/ switch but if you can convince him, I am all +1
