[Distutils] Problem with --uninstall option to setup.py develop

[Warren Weckesser]

I am using version "0.6c9-s1" of setuptools and Python 2.6.4.

I am trying to use the --uninstall option of "setup.py develop", but 
even with a simple example, I get the following error:

-----
none:devtest warren$ python setup.py develop --uninstall
running develop
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "setup.py", line 8, in <module>
   author="WW",
 File

line 152, in setup
   dist.run_commands()

   self._run_egg_info_script(self.distribution.location,
AttributeError: Distribution instance has no attribute 'location'
none:devtest warren$

My files look like this:

devtest/
   setup.py
   qwerty/
       __init__.py
       qwerty.py

Running "setup.py develop" works fine.

Here's setup.py:

-----
from setuptools import setup, find_packages

setup(
   name="qwerty",
   packages=find_packages(),
   version="0.1.0",
   author="WW",
)

Is this a known problem, maybe fixed in a later version?
