When emerging de-python/tagpy-0.94.8 configure complains: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Setuptools conflict detected. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- When I imported setuptools, I did not get the distribute version of setuptools, which is troubling--this package really wants to be used with distribute rather than the old setuptools package. More than likely, you have both distribute and setuptools installed, which is bad. See this page for more information: http://wiki.tiker.net/DistributeVsSetuptools ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will continue after a short while, fingers crossed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I guess it is an upstream bug for setuptools because they roduced a namespace conflict, but it seems it is hard to fix because of the wide use of setuptools. Maybe we could just patch the setup.py file to import from an explicit path? Reproducible: Always
(In reply to comment #0) > Maybe we could just patch the setup.py file to import from an explicit path? aksetup_helper.py already imports setuptools module provided by Distribute, but the check for it is broken.
Fixed.
