pip and virtualenv release candidates
pip-1.4rc2 and virtualenv-1.10rc3 are available for testing from github. A few highlights: - pip added support for installing and building wheel archives. ( http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/cookbook.html#building-and-installing... ) - virtualenv is now using the new merged setuptools, and no longer supports distribute. - pip now only installs stable versions by default, and offers a new --pre option to also find pre-releases. - Dropped support for Python 2.5.

FWIW, the following works to update a distribute-baesd virtualenv to the new setuptools / vr: $ bin/easy_install \ --find-links https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/downloads/ \ -U distribute No-looking-back'ly, Tres. -- =================================================================== Tres Seaver +1 540-429-0999 tseaver@palladion.com Palladion Software "Excellence by Design" http://palladion.com

good pt. if you use the unofficial release location, you can do it with pip as well. pip install -U --find-links=https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/downloads/distribute P.S. if you already have pip-1.4, add "--pre" so it can find the setuptools-0.8 betas (that pip also needs to make this work) Marcus
