Setuptools 0.8 and Distribute 0.7.3 (legacy wrapper) now released
The PyPA is excited to announce the public release of Setuptools 0.8. This release of setuptools provides no additional functionality over Setuptools 0.7.x except that it no longer requires 2to3 to build/install on Python 3. What this means for packaging is that tools like pip and virtualenv can now invoke setuptools directly on all supported Python versions (currently 2.4+). This build enables more natural upgrades and helps address many of the bugs that the 2to3 conversion process triggered. Additionally, Distribute 0.7.3 has also been released to PyPI. Distribute 0.7 was designed to ease the upgrade process from Distribute 0.6.x to Setuptools 0.7. This new version, 0.7.3, is a re-release of the legacy wrapper 0.7, but additionally bundles the Setuptools 0.8 code for the purposes of bootstrapping the upgrade. This version specifically eases upgrades on systems running older systems. Now, one can readily upgrade any environment with Distribute 0.6 by simply upgrading (using pip or easy_install) to Distribute 0.7.3, which will replace the 'distribute' package with an empty shell leaving setuptools >= 0.7 (probably 0.8) installed. Enjoy, and please report any issues with either of these packages at the Setuptools project page (https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools).

Thanks for working to get these out quickly to improve the upgrade path from older versions :) Cheers, Nick.

I tried this on OSX and ran into a problem: $ sudo pip install -U distribute Password: Downloading/unpacking distribute from https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/distribute/distribute-0.7.3.zip#md... Downloading distribute-0.7.3.zip (145Kb): 145Kb downloaded Running setup.py egg_info for package distribute Downloading/unpacking setuptools>=0.7 (from distribute) Downloading setuptools-0.8.tar.gz (756Kb): 756Kb downloaded Running setup.py egg_info for package setuptools Installing collected packages: distribute, setuptools Found existing installation: distribute 0.6.28 Uninstalling distribute: Successfully uninstalled distribute Running setup.py install for distribute Found existing installation: distribute 0.6.28 Exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip-1.1-py2.7.egg/pip/basecommand.py", line 104, in main status = self.run(options, args) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip-1.1-py2.7.egg/pip/commands/install.py", line 250, in run requirement_set.install(install_options, global_options) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip-1.1-py2.7.egg/pip/req.py", line 1129, in install requirement.uninstall(auto_confirm=True) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip-1.1-py2.7.egg/pip/req.py", line 477, in uninstall config.readfp(FakeFile(dist.get_metadata_lines('entry_points.txt'))) File "build/bdist.macosx-10.8-intel/egg/pkg_resources.py", line 1213, in get_metadata_lines File "build/bdist.macosx-10.8-intel/egg/pkg_resources.py", line 1205, in get_metadata File "build/bdist.macosx-10.8-intel/egg/pkg_resources.py", line 1270, in _get IOError: zipimport: can not open file /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/distribute-0.6.28-py2.7.egg So it downloaded 0.7.3 just fine, but barfed on a non-zipfile distribute 0.6.28. The directory didn't exist afterwards, so I assume the upgrade process somehow removed it (or it got confused because it was or wasn't a zipfile). Afterwards nothing pip-related worked as it missed setuptools. The `/usr/bin/easy_install setuptools` also didn't work. So I had to set it up anew, which worked: $ wget https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/raw/0.8/ez_setup.py $ sudo /usr/bin/python ez_setup.py Reinout -- Reinout van Rees http://reinout.vanrees.org/ reinout@vanrees.org http://www.nelen-schuurmans.nl/ "If you're not sure what to do, make something. -- Paul Graham"
