+This is the "zetuptoolz" fork of setuptools. This version is forked from
+setuptools trunk r80621 (which is current as of 2010-08-31), with the following
+differences:
+
+
+ * Zooko's patches for the following bugs and features have been applied:
+ 
+     <http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue17>
+     "easy_install will install a package that is already there"
+
+     <http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue54>
+     "be more like distutils with regard to --prefix="
+
+     <http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue53>
+     "respect the PYTHONPATH"
+
+
+ * The following patch to setuptools introduced bugs, and has been reverted
+   in zetuptoolz:
+
+    $ svn log -r 45514
+    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
+    r45514 | phillip.eby | 2006-04-18 04:03:16 +0100 (Tue, 18 Apr 2006) | 9 lines
+
+    Backport pkgutil, pydoc, and doctest from the 2.5 trunk to setuptools
+    0.7 trunk.  (Sideport?)  Setuptools 0.7 will install these in place of
+    the 2.3/2.4 versions (at least of pydoc and doctest) to let them work
+    properly with eggs.  pkg_resources now depends on the 2.5 pkgutil, which
+    is included here as _pkgutil, to work around the fact that some system
+    packagers will install setuptools without overriding the stdlib modules.
+    But users who install their own setuptools will get them, and the system
+    packaged people probably don't need them.
+    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+ * The scripts written by zetuptoolz have the following extra line:
+
+     # generated by zetuptoolz <version number>
+
+   after the header.
+
+
+ * Windows-specific changes (native Python):
+
+   Python distributions may have command-line or GUI scripts.
+   On Windows, setuptools creates an executable wrapper to run each
+   script. zetuptools uses a different approach that does not require
+   an .exe wrapper. It writes approximately the same script file that
+   is used on other platforms, but with a .pyscript extension.
+   It also writes a shell-script wrapper (without any extension) that
+   is only used when the command is run from a Cygwin shell.
+
+   Some of the advantages of this approach are:
+
+    * Unicode arguments are preserved (although the program will
+      need to use some Windows-specific code to get at them in
+      current versions of Python);
+    * it works correctly on 64-bit Windows;
+    * the zetuptoolz distribution need not contain either any
+      binary executables, or any C code that needs to be compiled.
+
+   See setuptools\tests\win_script_wrapper.txt for further details.
+
+   Installing or building any distribution on Windows will automatically
+   associate .pyscript with the native Python interpreter for the current
+   user. It will also add .pyscript and .pyw to the PATHEXT variable for
+   the current user, which is needed to allow scripts to be run without
+   typing any extension.
+
+   There is an additional setup.py command that can be used to perform
+   these steps separately (which isn't normally needed, but might be
+   useful for debugging):
+
+     python setup.py scriptsetup
+
+   Adding the --allusers option, i.e.
+
+     python setup.py scriptsetup --allusers
+
+   will make the .pyscript association and changes to the PATHEXT variable
+   for all users of this Windows installation, except those that have it
+   overridden in their per-user environment. In this case setup.py must be
+   run with Administrator privileges, e.g. from a Command Prompt whose
+   shortcut has been set to run as Administrator.

 * Stop crashing on certain types of HTTP error
 * Stop re-trying URLs that already failed retrieval once
 * Fixes for various dependency management problems such as looping

   in a registered "site" directory), and randomly preferring local -f 
   packages over local installed packages
 * Prevent lots of spurious "already imported from another path" warnings 
   (e.g. when pkg_resources is imported late)
 * Ensure C libraries (as opposed to extensions) are also built when 
   doing bdist_egg
 * Fixed running the "test" command under Python 2.6+
 
 Other changes:
 * Misc. documentation fixes
 * Improved Jython support
 * Fewer warnings under Python 2.6+
 * Warn when 'packages' uses paths instead of package names (because it 
   causes other problems, like spurious "already imported" warnings)
 * Stop using /usr/bin/sw_vers on Mac OS (replaced w/'platform' module 
   calls)
 
 Note: This is NOT a merge from Distribute; upon review, many of the 
 tracker-submitted patches used as a basis for forking were incorrect, 
 incomplete, introduced new bugs, or were not addressing the root
 causes.  (E.g., one of the changes in this patch fixes three superficially
 unrelated issues in the setuptools bug tracker.)  Careful review will be
 required if you  want to merge this work back into Distribute.

 This is to support the use case of installing with --prefix into a directory that isn't on the PYTHONPATH, and then adding it to the PYTHONPATH and running.
 Some people who are in the habit of using PYTHONPATH like this prefer to pass the PYTHONPATH explicitly at the beginning of each command-line, like this:
 
 $ PYTHONPATH=./support/lib/python2.5/site-packages python ./docoolthing.py
 
 instead of by setting a persistent environment variable in their shell, like this:

[Overhaul Windows script wrappers to support bdist_wininst better.  
phillip.eby**20061229173314
 Scripts installed with bdist_wininst will always use #!python.exe or 
 #!pythonw.exe as the executable name, and the wrappers will look for the 
 executable in the script's parent directory.  Since bdist_wininst 
 scripts are installed to Python2X/Scripts, this will look for 
 Python2X/python.exe.  Scripts installed by easy_install, however, will 
 still use an absolute executable path.  Also fixed: some egg<->exe
 roundtripping issues, and script #! lines on Windows can now have an 
 arbitrary number of arguments following the Python exe name, and the  
 exe name is quoted if necessary, following the MS command line parsing
 rules.
] 
[Partial support for cross-platform generation of bdist_wininst .exe's.
phillip.eby**20061229012949
 Unfortunately, bdist_wininst doesn't fix up #! lines, so python.exe or 
 pythonw.exe have to be on PATH for generated scripts to work.  This 
 could probably be fixed up with a post-install script, but that's a 
 job for another day.

 munge the path in rather arbitrary ways, and the initial setup of 
 sys.path is dependent on the platform and Python version.  This code has 
 been tested on Linux, cygwin, and Windows Python, versions 2.2, 2.3, and

 back into an ``.egg`` file or directory and install it as such.

[Added an internal ``install_egg_info`` command to use as part of old-style
phillip.eby**20051214173730

phillip.eby**20051206174136

 was highly non-intuitive to setuptools users and Python developers, who 
 seem to want to use ``-rc`` version numbers a lot.

 requirements that get processed before the ``egg_info`` command can be run,
 the setup scripts would fail with a "Missing 'Version:' header and/or
 PKG-INFO file" error, because the egg runtime interpreted the unbuilt
 metadata in a directory on ``sys.path`` (i.e. the current directory) as
 being a corrupted egg.  Setuptools now monkeypatches the distribution
 metadata cache to pretend that the egg has valid version information, until
 it has a chance to make it actually be so (via the ``egg_info`` command).

 precedence of distributions has also changed so that PYTHONPATH-based

 common installation complaints from non-root Python users.
 Note: this version includes a hacked 'site.py' to support processing
 .pth files in directories that come *before* site-packages on sys.path.
 However, because of its placement, it should only come into play when
 a user puts the setuptools .egg file *directly* on PYTHONPATH, so it
 doesn't affect "virtual" or "root" installations.  It's strictly to
 provide support for luddites who refuse to give up their

[Fix problem w/bdist_rpm and setuptools, reported by Walter Doerwald.  I
pje**20050821233340
 was trying to have setuptools fix distutils' broken filename handling that
 assumes people haven't put punctuation in their distribution names,
 including '-' (which prevents unambiguous parsing of distribution names).
 However, bdist_rpm's attempt to guess a source distribution's filename
 isn't compatible with this fix, without making other changes.  I decided
 therefore to drop the fixes for the sake of backward compatibility, but
 monkeypatch bdist_rpm so that it runs "egg_info" first, to ensure that any
 --tag-svn-revision or other tagging options take effect.

 older dependency support; this should probably be removed altogether, as

[Add 'ez_setup' bootstrap installer.  Prep for 0.4a2 release.
pje**20050612214734] 
[Add script installation support.  Use distutils' exceptions for option
pje**20050612192645
 errors.  Include Python version in setuptools' egg name for compatibility
 w/installs via easy_install.  Add isdir/listdir facilities for metadata,
 along with support for running scripts from eggs.
] 
[Restructure easy_install as a distutils "Command" object, so that it can
pje**20050612154954
 access the distutils configuration and logging infrastructure, and can
 "inherit" options from a distutils setup script that wants to use it to
 install its own dependencies.

[Move package index/downloading stuff to setuptools.package_index module.
pje**20050612034407] 
[Rebalance responsibilities between PackageIndex, Installer, and main() so
pje**20050612030753
 that PackageIndex handles all downloading of any kind, Installers can be
 reused for multiple packages, and main() manages temporary directories and
 all communication between PackageIndex and Installer.  Also, change
 run_setup to take an argument sequence, because later we will probably need
 other arguments to control other aspects of run_setup's behavior.
] 
[Split setup-running and archive-extraction utilities into separate modules,

[Package scripts under EGG-INFO/scripts.  Refactor subcommand invocations

] 
[Update distribution metadata so 'setup.py register' works; add 'extra_path'
pje**20050606033048
 so that setuptools can install itself in egg form.

[Update docs for PyPI support, prep for 0.4a1 release
pje**20050605215541] 
[Implement PyPI screenscraping for EasyInstall.  Fix a bug in requirement
pje**20050605213351
 version checking.  Document new options for screen scraping.
] 
[Add "safe_name" and "safe_version" functions to allow sanitizing of
pje**20050605185937
 distribution names and versions in arbitrary packages that might be built
 using EasyInstall.
] 
[Partial support for autolocation of packages via link harvesting.  Still
pje**20050605012430
 needs a little work to get PyPI support working, and automatic dependency
 resolution.  But for now you can do:
 
     easy_install -s http://example.com/download.html SomePackage
 
 And easy_install will find the best-looking download link on the page for
 instaling SomePackage.
] 
[Make ``AvailableDistributions`` keep track of the desired platform/python.
pje**20050605012009
 Add a ``can_add()`` method that indicates whether a distribution matches
 the collection's desired platform and Python version.  Fix a bug in
 ``Distribution.from_filename()`` when the filename has no Python version.
] 
[Updated for v0.3a4
pje**20050605004811] 
[Add support for prioritized sorting of distributions by distribution type,
pje**20050605004736
 to assist easy_install in indexing packages from PyPI.
] 
[Fix a minor problem with -b option, and prep for 0.3a4 release.
pje**20050604213513] 
[Add support for resource isdir/listdir operations.  Support directory
pje**20050604211819
 extraction and "egg baskets" for .zips.  Add import locking for namespace
 package manipulation routines.
] 
[Release 0.3a3
pje**20050531003454] 
[Ditch outdated TODO file, move docs to a new 'EasyInstall.txt' file.  Fix
pje**20050531002445
 installation report for .egg files/directories.
] 
[Add option to allow specifying a download/extract/build directory, which
pje**20050530235233
 will be kept after installation completes.  Added an "installation report"
 that tells you how to use 'require()' to activate a particular package
 version.  Installer.install_eggs() now returns a list of Distribution
 objects for the eggs it found and installed, so that the command-line tool
 can print an installation report for each one.
] 
[Ensure that the distribution name written to PKG-INFO is the same as the
pje**20050530232210
 name you'll use in 'require()' operations for that distribution.
] 
[Add setup script "sandboxing" -- abort a setup script if it tries to write
pje**20050530232034
 to the filesystem outside of the installer's temporary directory.  This is
 accomplished by temporarily replacing 'os.*' functions and the 'open'
 builtin with path-validation wrappers.
] 
[Reorganize bdist_egg's handling of 'install_data' to better deal with the
pje**20050530064601
 various kludges legacy packages are using to install data in their package
 directories.  Some use absolute paths in 'distribution.data_files', while
 others create various subclasses of 'install_data', each with their own
 way of finding out what directory to use!  So 'bdist_egg' now does all its
 'install_lib' activity before 'install_data', and pokes the desired build
 directory into a wide variety of places, so that all of the known kludges
 so far will work correctly.  It also checks for absolute paths in
 'data_files' (carefully working around other packages' 'data_files'
 kludges!) and converts them back to relative ones, if they are subpaths of
 site-packages.
 
 Clearly, we need to get the word out about 'package_files' in Python 2.4
 and above, and suggest using 'setuptools' for Python 2.3.
] 
[Add SourceForge download support, graciously contributed by Ian Bicking.
pje**20050530033750
 Also, move some more imports to the top.
] 
[Bump version to 0.3a2 for release
pje**20050529221430] 
[Add subversion support, loosely based on an implementation by Ian Bicking.
pje**20050529220846
 EasyInstall now recognizes both 'svn' URLs (including 'svn+ssh' et al), and
 notices when it connects to an HTTP server that's actually a subversion
 repository.  In either case it does a subversion checkout of the package.
 Also, fixed a bug on platforms with os.samefile().
] 
[Added options to alter eggs' version number by tagging with the subversion
pje**20050529220539
 revision number, date, and/or a custom tag.  This should make it easier for
 people to produce e.g. automated nightly builds of eggs.
] 
[Add support for using Installer subclasses, especially ones with support
pje**20050529071343
 for searching a package database.
] 
[Oddly enough, some setup.py files actually check __name__=='__main__'
pje**20050529064114] 
[Correctly recognize .egg files that are already on sys.path (or whatever
pje**20050529052059
 path AvailableDistributions is scanning)
] 
[Handle distributions with ' ' in their names
pje**20050529051959] 
[Add link to Python Eggs page in doc; fix a problem with non-standard source
pje**20050529013601
 distros (where setup.py is in the archive root).
] 
[Remove exemaker spew from easy_install.py
pje**20050529001825] 
[Add "easy_install" script that downloads distutils source (or .egg files)
pje**20050529001722
 and builds and installs them as eggs, with support for managing .pth files.
 Built distributions are installed in individual subdirectories, so you can
 either add the directory to a .pth (automatically done by default), or you
 can use pkg_resources.require() to manage your dependencies explicitly.
 Because each distribution is in its own directory (or .egg file),
 uninstallation and clean upgrades are trivial, without the aid of any sort
 of package manager.
] 
[Add experimental 'install_data' support to 'bdist_egg'.  The most common
pje**20050528230559
 distutils custom command hack in the field is to make 'install_data'
 put data in with the target packages by changing the --install-data to
 match --install-lib, so this should let bdist_egg work with more packages
 "out of the box".
] 
[Fix some typos and a missing import
pje**20050525032232] 
[Implement draft support for namespace packages, both declaring them
pje**20050525030653
 initially and fixing them up when new eggs are added to sys.path.  At the
 moment, all namespace packages are fixed up whenever any new egg is added
 to sys.path, but this might not scale well if there are lots of eggs and
 lots of namespace packages.  Perhaps we should limit namespace fixups to
 namespace packages explicitly declared in the egg?
] 
[Support registering distribution finders for arbitrary PEP 302 importer
pje**20050525005039
 types, so that the directory scanner isn't a hardcoded case.
] 
[Implement a draft version of 'find_distributions()' with hardcoded support
pje**20050524011524
 for packed and unpacked .egg files and .egg-info dirs.  This will need to
 be refactored later to support registering adapters for arbitrary PEP 302
 importers, so that it can deal with non-filesystem sys.path entries.
 
 In the meantime, however, this means that 'require()' now works and that
 intrepid souls may now witness the power of this fully operational battle
 station...
] 
[Make AvailableDistributions check distributions for Python version
pje**20050523021752
 compatibility as well as platform compatibility.  Rename get_distro_source
 to 'find_distributions', and get rid of intermediate distro-source objects.
] 
[Add a rough draft of Distribution.install_on(), to let others experiment
pje**20050523020042
 with 'require()' before the "official" version is complete.
] 
[Add tests for AvailableDistributions().resolve().  This effectively
pje**20050523015627
 completes the core dependency resolution engine; all we need now is a way
 to turn sys.path entries into "distribution sources" that can list
 Distribution objects for inclusion in an instance of
 AvailableDistributions, and the 'require("SomePkg>=2.7")' API will be
 usable.
] 
[Added support for specifying options on requirements, so that a package's
pje**20050522202847
 optional dependencies can be included when processing nested dependencies.
 Next up: tests for the resolve() algorithm.
] 
[Distribution metadata parsing: distribution objects can now extract their
pje**20050522194022
 version from PKG-INFO and their dependencies from depends.txt, including
 optional dependencies.
] 
[Refine dependency resolution algorithm so it won't take exponential time,
pje**20050522181700
 or bomb on cyclic dependencies.  (But it's still an untested sketch.)
 Added list of things that need to be implemented before dependency
 resolution can actually work.  Added tests for lower-level parts of the
 dependency resolution system, and a hook to support subclasses doing
 automatic download of needed dependencies.
] 
[Add basic "Requirement" class that can tell whether a distribution or
pje**20050521214257
 version meets its version requirements.
] 
[Added "AvailableDistributions" class that finds and indexes usable
pje**20050403185221
 distributions; this replaces the previous "iter_distributions()" API.
 Added basic platform support to Distribution and AvailableDistributions so
 that platform-independent distros as well as local platform-compatible
 distros are acceptable.  The actual platform scheme is currently delegated
 to distutils.util.get_platform(), but needs to be replaced with a better
 scheme of some kind, especially for OS X.
] 
[Remove setuptools_boot.py, as it can now be trivially replaced by including
pje**20050403172338
 a setuptools .egg file in your source distribution, and adding it to
 sys.path in your setup.py.
] 
[Fix handling of -/_ so that they are canonicalized to '-' when doing name
pje**20050403012108
 or version comparisons, but rendered as '_' in egg filenames.
] 
[Add a "Distribution" object that wraps a sys.path entry with metadata, and
pje**20050403004658
 can extract its name/version/pythonversion/platform if built from a .egg
 filename.  Later, distributions will be able to add themselves to sys.path
 and request that their dependencies be added as well.  Also, added some
 real-life version test cases supplied by jemfinch.
] 
[Add a simple version parser that combines the pre-release smarts of
pje**20050402233113
 distutils' StrictVersion, with the flexibility of LooseVersion.  It also
 deals heuristically with common concepts like alpha/beta/candidate/rc
 and pre/preview, as well as '-' and 'pl' branching schemes.
] 
[Rough draft of version requirement parser.  Make bdist_egg look for a
pje**20050402024321
 distname.egg-info directory instead of EGG-INFO.in; this will be used later
 to support development of egg-distributed packages that an application
 under development expects to 'require()'.  (Thanks to Fred Drake for
 pointing out this use case, and Bob Ippolito for helping me figure out how
 to support it, although the runtime support doesn't actually exist yet.)
] 
[Back out the addition of bogus 'if __name__=="__main__"' block; the One
pje**20050401212849
 Obvious Way to test setuptools is to run 'setup.py test', because that also
 provides an integration test for the 'test' command.

[Add a working pkg_resources implementation that handles extraction and
pje**20050323004252
 basic support for non-egg resources.  Still a lot to do, but this version
 is capable of not only extracting and running C extensions, it can even
 find its own runtime (pkg_resources) if it's included in the egg.
] 
[Fix bootstrap loader so extracted files don't have to be on sys.path.
pje**20050322185559] 
[Create stub loaders for C extensions, so that the actual dynamic library
pje**20050322001503
 can be extracted from the egg.
] 
[Allow user-supplied metadata from EGG-INFO.in directory (directory name can
pje**20050321204157
 be overridden with a command-line option).
] 
[Add python version to egg filename.
pje**20050321201233] 
[Add 'bdist_egg' command/format to allow creating "Python Eggs" (see
pje**20050321195046
 http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PythonEggs for details).  This
 version only supports pure libraries and does not support user-defined
 metadata.  But it's sufficient to make .egg files that can be placed on
 PYTHONPATH and used.

 all requirements aren't met.  (Also, check planned install location for
 the dependencies, as well as checking sys.path.)  Also:
 
 * Allow 'Feature()' objects to include 'Require()' objects, so that
   dependencies can be optional
 
 * 'Require()' objects can set a homepage, whose URL will be displayed by
   the 'depends' command if the dependency needs to be installed.
 
 * Misc. fixes/refactoring of version validation to properly handle
   "unknown" versions, and to decouple version fetching from version
