I was curious about this comment in SetupTools.py
if 'CHEETAH_USE_SETUPTOOLS' in os.environ:
# @@TR: Please note that this is for testing purposes only! PEAK setuptools
# is not required or recommended for installing Cheetah. Downstream
# package managers (linux distros, etc.) should *not* enable this.
Several python frameworks (TurboGears for one) that use Cheetah require the egg-info metadata that setuptools generates, so we define CHEETAH_USE_SETUPTOOLS in the Fedora package for Cheetah. I just wanted to verify that this is a supported installation method, and that future upgrades aren't likely to break it.
Thoughts?
