New setuptools in subversion
Since the Python CVS has been migrated to Subversion, it's now possible to get fresh setuptools checkouts using EasyInstall. That is, you can use: easy_install setuptools==dev to request the development version of setuptools from Subversion. The current in-development version is 0.6a8dev, which means it is an unreleased version of 0.6a8, and will be considered obsolete when the real 0.6a8 is released. Some new "features" of the dev version include: * Bug fixes for all the Subversion-related problems reported recently by John J. Lee * Fix for the version conflict problem reported today by Ian Bicking * Fix for the extension building problem w/Pyrex and Python 2.4 reported by Kevin Dangoor So if you've been experiencing any of the above issues, you might want to give it a try. I still have a long list of to-do's for the official 0.6a8 release, so it probably won't be out before the weekend. In any case, it's always helpful to get some third-party testing before making an official release. Thanks.
