Hi Everybody: There is a set of patches to move from distutils to setuptools. setuptools is not part of the python core. However I claim that almost every distribution has it packaged, so it's not a significant issue to require setuptools. This change allows 'pip install --editable' to work. Also roundup can be distributed as a single file wheel or egg. These forms reducing the time needed to install roundup. Does anybody consider the change to setuptools to be a major problem/blocker for using roundup? -- -- rouilj John Rouillard =========================================================================== My employers don't acknowledge my existence much less my opinions.
