Bug 197632 – dev-python/configobj should not depend on setuptools

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Darren Dale 2007-10-31 13:41:02 UTC]

According to http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/configobj.html#downloading, configobj does not have any external dependencies. It should not depend on setuptools.

I emerged config object without setuptools, it appears to work just fine. Here's a diff:
