-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Bazaar[1] is a distributed version control system that provides many useful features over second generation vcs's like Subversion, and it's written in Python. setuptoolsbzr is a plugin enabling Bazaar support for the also awesome setuptools[2] enhancements to Python's distutils. With this plugin, you can manage your projects under Bazaar and setuptools will be able to find version controlled files when it creates packages of your project. To use, all you need to do is add the following to your setup() function: setup( # ... entry_points = { 'setuptools.file_finders': [ 'bzr = setuptoolsbzr:find_files_for_bzr', ], }, setup_requires = [ 'setuptoolsbzr', ], ) setuptools will do the rest. You can of course grab the setuptoolsbzr package separately from the Python Cheeseshop[3]. One caveat: setuptoolsbzr requires that either the command line program bzr(1) be available on your $PATH or that the bzrlib package be installed in your Python's site-packages. setuptoolsbzr has a dependency on the 'bzr' package but this dependency is disabled due to a minor bug in the bzr Cheeseshop tarball[4]. This may not affect you because why would you want to use setuptoolsbzr if you didn't already have bzr installed? For now though, just install Bazaar manually via the tarball available on the bazaar-vcs.org site, or your OS's package manager and you should be good to go. When the bug is fixed, I'll update setuptoolsbzr accordingly.
