Well, if this was the BDFL pronouncement that a lot of people have taken
it to be, does that allow Martin von Lewis to give the keys to
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools to the "distribute" developers,
so we can get on and use the original "setuptools" name without all the
confusion and hackery needed to make "distribute" work?
cheers,
Chris
PS: I had thought that MvL couldn't help because of ez_setup.py, but
it's only buildout that appears foolish enough to have a hardcoded
download of:
exec urllib2.urlopen('http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py'
).read() in ez
..and even that will keep working provided PJE doesn't take it down...
