Setuptools 2.0 Released

The PyPA is pleased to announce the Setuptools 2.0 release. This backward-incompatible release drops support for Python 2.4 and Python 2.5, but is otherwise compatible with 1.x releases. The 1.x series will continue to be supported for bug and security fixes for the foreseeable future. This means that any systems with older versions of Python should install "setuptools<2dev" or use the legacy bootstrap script, available at https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/raw/bootstrap-py24/ez_setup.py for Python 2.4 and Python 2.5 users. That link is also published in the README as install instructions. Please report any emergent issues at https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/issues. Jason PyPA

Thanks for the awesome work! I still support 2.5 for a few projects so it's helpful to know that there are still options available for such cases. Erik

Ah, one instance of the legacy import system PEP 302 emulation finally removed :) Perhaps for 3.5, I (or someone else!) will finally get around to making the emulation layer in pkgutil a thin wrapper around importlib. Since the import system migrated to importlib in 3.3, the utility functions in pkgutil no longer rely on that emulation, but it's still around for backwards compatibility with direct third party usage. Cheers, Nick.
