Maybe try and earlier version of bootstrap? I idley wonder if this is some side effect of the make-distribute-work work? Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Batch Processing & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

I'll not help, but I got the very same issue with a component ran from a virtualenv-ed Python, which was created using setuptools 0.6c9 (and I did this before Buildout was updated to run with Distribute (and, of course, after the update of setuptools). Finally, I gave up and updated my sandbox-ed version of setuptools installation, but... oh well. Jonathan

Why would a "bootstrap" fail due to missing / less-than-required version of setuptools in the host python? The bootstrap should be self-contained enough to make things work no matter what, since the point is too build an environment which doesn't rely on anything beyond a "bare" Python install.

$ svn co $ZSVN/Acquisition/trunk Aq-trunk ... $ cd Aq-trun $ /path/to/python2.6 bootstrap/bootstrap.py The required version of setuptools (>=0.6c11) is not available, and can't be installed while this script is running. Please install a more recent version first, using 'easy_install -U setuptools'.

This is probably due to an attempt to use an existing setuptools if it's available. I could probably add an option to get it to not do that. I'll look into that.

Great, thanks. I can see re-using that version if it is present, and new enough, but we ought to be able to use a downloaded version if that fails.
