I've just released version 0.2.6 of distlib on PyPI [1]. For newcomers,distlib is a library of packaging functionality which is intended to beusable as the basis for third-party packaging tools. The main changes in this release are as follows: * Fixed #99: Updated to handle a case where sys.getfilesystemencoding()  returns None. * Fixed #97: Eliminated a crash in EggInfoDistribution.list_distinfo_files()  which was caused by trying to open a non-existent file. * Fixed #96: SimpleScrapingLocator no longer fails prematurely when scraping  links due to invalid versions. * Improved error messages issued when interpreting markers. * Improved the shebangs written into installed scripts when the interpreter  path is very long or contains spaces (to cater for a limitation in shebang  line parsing on Linux). * Updated launcher binaries. A more detailed change log is available at [2]. Please try it out, and if you find any problems or have any suggestions forimprovements, please give some feedback using the issue tracker!
