Install setuptools in Python formulae now that distribute has been merged in.

[Julian]

Here's a pull request for #20959 (which contains the rationale in case the merger is not familiar with why this is now appropriate).

We may want to consider adding a caveat telling people that they may want to manually uninstall old versions that they have installed of distribute if you guys would like that, since they can cause issues.

[samueljohn]

let me do a few checks first, okay?
Will merge this then...

Anything bad about directly going to 0.8?
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/0.8

[samueljohn]

Biggest change is probably discussed in this thread:
Eggs are back. I still have to read the details.
http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue33

[Julian]

No, nothing bad, I pushed this out just before 0.8 was released :).

[samueljohn]

Can you please update to the 0.8 then?

[samueljohn]

@Julian when I brew rm python and brew install python (with the setuptools 0.7 as in this pull request), I get an error when I try to pip install ...:

ValueError: A 0.7-series setuptools cannot be installed with distribute. Found one at /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools-0.7.7-py2.7.egg

How can we provide a clean upgrade path for our users?

[Julian]

Can you please update to the 0.8 then?

Yes, as soon as I get a moment.

@Julian when I brew rm python and brew install python (with the setuptools 0.7 as in this pull request), I get an error when I try to pip install ...:

That's what I meant about adding a caveat. You presumably have old versions of distribute in your site-packages directory. We can tell users to remove those themselves (or I guess attempt to remove them ourselves).

Two upstream updates on the same day?

Should we hold off for a bit longer just in case there is an 0.8.1?

[samueljohn]

We are not in a hurry here since the current version still works nicely with pip install.
Of course we will update eventually (soon) but lets assure upgrading is smooth.

Just wanted to add that I was having an error with brew install python because distribute was giving me an OSError, and changing the formula to use a recent setuptools instead solved the issue. Having this PR merged would have fixed my problem.

[samueljohn]

OSError is most likely due to an older setuptools sitting around in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages (that has been installed via sudo.

[samueljohn]

For python.rb I just updated the formula to use setuptools 0.8. For the other formulae, I am happy if you could update this pull request.

[samueljohn]

I updated to setuptools 0.9.5 for python.rb and python3.rb.

[samueljohn]

@Julian do you want to update this PR to do the same for PyPy (which I have not yet done)?

[samueljohn]

Or perhaps its better to open a new PR for this, okay? Ping me once done. Closing this now.

[samueljohn]

Thanks you!

[Julian]

Sure thing. Thanks for being on top of this, I'll send a PR for PyPy in an
hour or so.
