Please bump. I already got a package requesting that version. https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/setuptools/
Created attachment 350890 [details] ebuild + a patch for py2.5 py2.5 suffers a fail on a silly technicality, i.e. not able to write to system installed py2.5. pypy1.9 suffers FAILED (failures=1, errors=4) pypy2.0 just the 1. See bug filed upstream. As for install phase if it's not good with distutils-r1 defaults it can get cleaned up on the tests getting fixed.
(In reply to Ian Delaney from comment #1) > Created attachment 350890 [details] > ebuild + a patch for py2.5 That ebuild could use some polishing. pushd "${BUILD_DIR}"../ This is probably broken, and I'm not sure why it is there in the first place. And you left out the corresponding "popd". sed -e "s:run_setup(test_setup_py, ['install']):run_setup(test_setup_py, ['build']):" Why are you replacing 'install' with 'build' here? I don't see any explanation for this. Also, the patch makes this redundant.
Created attachment 350894 [details] ebuild + a patch for py2.5 hmm I forgot to delete that part, the sed statement didn't work and I made the patch. The reason lies explained enough in the filed bug, which is why I put it there, but to repeat, py2.5 fails over not being able to write to the system installed py2.5. Who'd a thought? Giving it a build dir instead makes it pass what it shouldn't fail, and is intended more or less as a place holder

Created attachment 350926 [details] ebuild + a patch for py2.5 sure
You can drop distutil-r1_python_prepare from python_prepare; that function does not exist. Other than that, looks good to me.
