[New-bugs-announce] [issue2946] setuptools: bdist_wininst adds duplicate entry to dist_files

[Hartmut Goebel]

New submission from Hartmut Goebel <htgoebel at users.sourceforge.net>:

In setuptools 0.6c8 has a bug in bdist_wininst:

Distribution files are listed twice
``distribution.dist_files``. This hinders developing tools which use
this data. In addition ``upload`` will upload the file twice to pypi.

I need this bug fixed for automated upload of files using
<http://origo-submit.origo.ethz.ch>;.

Enclosed please find a simple package to show the bug. Just run

   python setup.py bdist_wininst

this shows one entry. Now run

   python setup-setuptools.py bdist_wininst

this shows two entires.

The only difference between both setup files is wherefrom setup() is
imported.
