I gather you're saying that the fix to setuptools will make it work in 2.6.3 without inadvertently breaking it for 2.6.2, 2.6.1, and 2.6.0, right? Have you tried the fix in those older versions to be sure? If, as I hope, the answer to that is "yes", then I strongly support releasing a fixed setuptools instead of reverting the change to Python. -Barry -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
