Description Ankur Sinha (FranciscoD) 2010-04-19 08:13:11 UTC 
Description of problem:

Hey, setuptools 0.6c11 is available at 

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools

Please update?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

[Ankur1@localhost lelutin-tomtom-4f515cb]$ rpm -qa | grep python | grep setup
python-setuptools-0.6c9-5.fc12.noarch


I need this to build a package :)

===============================================================================

[Ankur1@localhost lelutin-tomtom-4f515cb]$ python setup.py --help

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This script requires setuptools version 0.6c11 to run (even to display
help).  I will attempt to download it for you (from
http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.6/s/setuptools/), but
you may need to enable firewall access for this script first.
I will start the download in 15 seconds.

(Note: if this machine does not have network access, please obtain the file

   http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.6/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg

and place it in this directory before rerunning this script.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------


Thanks!

I've built an updated package to use for the timebeing, if that's any help:

I don't want to spend more time updating setuptools when the direction we should be taking is to move to distribute (as shipped in F13).

The error message about needing setuptool-0.6c11 is almost certainly because of setuptools being braindead.  If you give me an srpm for the package you are building, I'll give you a patch to fix that that you can also send upstream.  If the newer setuptools is really needed I'll think about updating.... although I'm inclined to switch us to distribute if I can... which shouldn't be disruptive but is a somewhat major change.

hello, I'm the upstream developer for this application. I've found that the source of this issue is that the setup.py script was using an included ez_setup.py script, which in turn was forcing download of version 0.6c11 of setuptools.

the latest revision of setuptools is indeed not required and a fix was pushed on the upstream repository that should remove this behaviour.

hey,

Thanks Gabriel. I'll use the new source. Closing the bug.
