Hi,
I'd like to know if I can create my virtualenvs with "--distribute" without any other changes, since distribute is advertised as being backwards compatible with setuptools?
I'm trying to circumvent https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/202 and Distribute comes in handy.
Also, if this works just fine, wouldn't it make sense to make Distribute the default for virtualenv at some point?
Thanks, Chris

It should work as well or better, yes. If not, that's a bug.

In my opinion, yes.

FWIW you can also set VIRTUALENV_USE_DISTRIBUTE=1 in your environment. Or, in the latest version of virtualenv I think it's just VIRTUALENV_DISTRIBUTE. You can also set it in a config file now; I forget the details but it's explained in the virtualenv docs.
