Setuptools for Python 3.x | Use distribute instead!
During the last couple of days I had to deal with Python again - which I like. Due to the lack of Setuptools compatible with Python3.x for an installation routine, shipped with one of the tools I needed (written for Python2.x), I had to fiddle with distribute...
"Distribute is a fork of the Setuptools project. Distribute is intended to replace Setuptools as the standard method for working with Python module distributions." [http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute]
So, there's no official port of Setuptools for Python3.x - AFAIK...The simple workaround:
Use Distribute which includes Setuptools for Python3.x.
Installation instructions, checkout http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute first for the latest version:
wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/distribute/distribute-0.6.21.ta...
tar -xzvf distribute-0.6.21.tar.gz
cd distribute-0.6.21
python setup.py install
Cheers!
