Try distribute/setuptools before distutils

Open jimbrowne opened this issue 11 years ago • 1 comments

distutils does not support install_requires. Per the advice [1] from the BFDL-Packaging and for compatibility with FPM [2] building from a git clone try distribute/setuptools before distutils. Perhaps this is wrong; I wouldn't be the first person driven to despair by Python packaging.
