Setuptools 0.6c10 released
The long-overdue setuptools 0.6c10 update is now available on PyPI, at: http://pypi.python.org/setuptools/ Major updates and fixes include: * Support for SVN 1.6 and Python 2.6 * Fix for the Python 2.6.3 build_ext API change * Support for the most recent Sourceforge download link insanity * Fix for Vista UAC errors running easy_install.exe or other "installer-looking" executables * Fix for errors launching 64-bit Windows Python * Stop crashing on certain types of HTTP error * Stop re-trying URLs that already failed retrieval once * Fixes for various dependency management problems such as looping builds, re-downloading packages already present on sys.path (but not in a registered "site" directory), and randomly preferring local -f packages over local installed packages * Prevent lots of spurious "already imported from another path" warnings (e.g. when pkg_resources is imported late) * Ensure C libraries (as opposed to extensions) are also built when doing bdist_egg Other changes: * Misc. documentation fixes * Improved Jython support * Fewer warnings under Python 2.6+ * Warn when 'packages' uses paths instead of package names (because it causes other problems, like spurious "already imported" warnings) * Stop using /usr/bin/sw_vers on Mac OS (replaced w/'platform' module calls) You can install the updated version using easy_install (or pip!), asking for setuptools==0.6c10. (Note for users of Distribute: Distribute and setuptools use the same package name 'setuptools', and thus cannot both be present on the same sys.path (e.g. in the same virtualenv). If you wish to switch a given environment from Distribute to setuptools or vice versa, you will need to completely uninstall one before installing the other. If you currently have Distribute installed, please follow Distribute's uninstall instructions if you wish to reinstall setuptools.) Please report any problems with setuptools to the setuptools bug tracker at: http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/ For faster response to questions, please use the distutils-sig mailing list, rather than the tracker. Setuptools documentation can be found via links at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#using-setuptools-and-easyinstall -- and the pages on the PEAK wiki now load much, much faster than they did a few months ago. (They're static cached pages now, rather than dynamically generated, unless you're actually logged into the wiki.)

It looks like I managed to revert it in my working copy, too. Crap. (Which is weird, because I know I built the executables before and tested them on a 64-bit Vista box.) I've reapplied the changes and put it back in SVN. 'easy_install setuptools==dev06' will let you get it for now.
Or am I looking in the wrong place? I'd like to see your solution.
I changed the loadable_exe() function to be a no-op string copy, essentially. Looks like I'll need to go ahead and put out a c11 tomorrow. Sorry about that. Thanks for the prompt report.
