setuptools is not pinned to a specific version.

I'm pinning it to the latest version 24.3.0 for now.

Changelog

24.3.0

    text on Python 3.

22.0.0

Intended to be v21.3.0, but jaraco accidentally released as
a major bump.

  • 598: Setuptools now lists itself first in the User-Agent
    for web requests, better following the guidelines in
    RFC 7231 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231section-5.5.3>_.

21.2.2

    to allow distutils.sysconfig.customize_compiler
    configure the OS X compiler for -dynamiclib.

21.0.0

  • Removed ez_setup.py from Setuptools sdist. The
    bootstrap script will be maintained in its own

    its canonical location at
    https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py.

20.10.0

  • 553: egg_info section is now generated in a
    deterministic order, matching the order generated
    by earlier versions of Python. Except on Python 2.6,
    order is preserved when existing settings are present.
  • 556: Update to Packaging 16.7, restoring support
    for deprecated python_implmentation marker.

  • 545: Safely handle deletion of non-zip eggs in rotate
    command.

20.8.1

  • Issue 544: Fix issue with extra environment marker
    processing in WorkingSet due to refactor in v20.7.0.

20.8.0

  • Issue 543: Re-release so that latest release doesn't
    cause déjà vu with distribute and setuptools 0.7 in
    older environments.

20.7.0

  • Refactored extra environment marker processing
    in WorkingSet.
  • Issue 533: Fixed intermittent test failures.
  • Issue 536: In msvc9_support, trap additional exceptions
    that might occur when importing
    distutils.msvc9compiler in mingw environments.
  • Issue 537: Provide better context when package
    metadata fails to decode in UTF-8.

20.6.8

  • Issue 523: Restored support for environment markers,
    now honoring 'extra' environment markers.

20.6.7

  • Issue 523: Disabled support for environment markers
    introduced in v20.5.

20.6.6

  • Issue 503: Restore support for PEP 345 environment
    markers by updating to Packaging 16.6.

20.6.0

  • New release process that relies on
    bumpversion <https://github.com/peritus/bumpversion>_
    and Travis CI for continuous deployment.
  • Project versioning semantics now follow
    semver <https://semver.org>_ precisely.
    The 'v' prefix on version numbers now also allows
    version numbers to be referenced in the changelog,
    e.g. https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/history.htmlv20-6-0.

20.5

  • BB Pull Request 185, 470: Add support for environment markers
    in requirements in install_requires, setup_requires,
    tests_require as well as adding a test for the existing
    extra_requires machinery.

20.4

  • Issue 422: Moved hosting to
    Github <https://github.com/pypa/setuptools>_
    from Bitbucket <https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools>_.
    Issues have been migrated, though all issues and comments
    are attributed to bb-migration. So if you have a particular
    issue or issues to which you've been subscribed, you will
    want to "watch" the equivalent issue in Github.
    The Bitbucket project will be retained for the indefinite
    future, but Github now hosts the canonical project repository.

20.3.1

  • Issue 519: Remove import hook when reloading the
    pkg_resources module.
  • BB Pull Request 184: Update documentation in pkg_resources
    around new Requirement implementation.

20.3

  • BB Pull Request 179: pkg_resources.Requirement objects are
    now a subclass of packaging.requirements.Requirement,
    allowing any environment markers and url (if any) to be
    affiliated with the requirement
  • BB Pull Request 179: Restore use of RequirementParseError
    exception unintentionally dropped in 20.2.

20.2.2

  • Issue 502: Correct regression in parsing of multiple
    version specifiers separated by commas and spaces.

20.2.1

  • Issue 499: Restore compatibility for legacy versions
    by bumping to packaging 16.4.

20.2

  • Changelog now includes release dates and links to PEPs.
  • BB Pull Request 173: Replace dual PEP 345 _markerlib implementation
    and PEP 426 implementation of environment marker support from
    packaging 16.1 and PEP 508. Fixes Issue 122.
    See also BB Pull Request 175, BB Pull Request 168, and
    BB Pull Request 164. Additionally:
    • Requirement.parse no longer retains the order of extras.
    • parse_requirements now requires that all versions be
      PEP-440 compliant, as revealed in 499. Packages released
      with invalid local versions should be re-released using
      the proper local version syntax, e.g. mypkg-1.0+myorg.1.

20.1.1

  • Update upload_docs command to also honor keyring
    for password resolution.

20.1

  • Added support for using passwords from keyring in the upload
    command. See the upload docs <http://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.htmlupload-upload-source-and-or-egg-distributions-to-pypi>_
    for details.

20.0

  • Issue 118: Once again omit the package metadata (egg-info)
    from the list of outputs in --record. This version of setuptools
    can no longer be used to upgrade pip earlier than 6.0.

19.7

  • Off-project PR <https://github.com/jaraco/setuptools/pull/32>_:
    For FreeBSD, also honor root certificates from ca_root_nss.

19.6.2

  • Issue 491: Correct regression incurred in 19.4 where
    a double-namespace package installed using pip would
    cause a TypeError.

19.6.1

  • Restore compatibility for PyPy 3 compatibility lost in
    19.4.1 addressing Issue 487.
  • setuptools.launch shim now loads scripts in a new
    namespace, avoiding getting relative imports from
    the setuptools package on Python 2.

19.6

  • Added a new entry script setuptools.launch,
    implementing the shim found in
    pip.util.setuptools_build. Use this command to launch
    distutils-only packages under setuptools in the same way that
    pip does, causing the setuptools monkeypatching of distutils
    to be invoked prior to invoking a script. Useful for debugging
    or otherwise installing a distutils-only package under
    setuptools when pip isn't available or otherwise does not
    expose the desired functionality. For example::

    $ python -m setuptools.launch setup.py develop

  • Issue 488: Fix dual manifestation of Extension class in
    extension packages installed as dependencies when Cython
    is present.

19.5

  • Issue 486: Correct TypeError when getfilesystemencoding
    returns None.
  • Issue 139: Clarified the license as MIT.
  • BB Pull Request 169: Removed special handling of command
    spec in scripts for Jython.

19.4.1

  • Issue 487: Use direct invocation of importlib.machinery
    in pkg_resources to avoid missing detection on relevant
    platforms.

19.4

  • Issue 341: Correct error in path handling of package data
    files in build_py command when package is empty.
  • Distribute 323, Issue 141, Issue 207, and
    BB Pull Request 167: Another implementation of
    pkg_resources.WorkingSet and pkg_resources.Distribution
    that supports replacing an extant package with a new one,
    allowing for setup_requires dependencies to supersede installed
    packages for the session.

19.3

  • Issue 229: Implement new technique for readily incorporating
    dependencies conditionally from vendored copies or primary
    locations. Adds a new dependency on six.

19.2

  • BB Pull Request 163: Add get_command_list method to Distribution.
  • BB Pull Request 162: Add missing whitespace to multiline string
    literals.

19.1.1

  • Issue 476: Cast version to string (using default encoding)
    to avoid creating Unicode types on Python 2 clients.
  • Issue 477: In Powershell downloader, use explicit rendering
    of strings, rather than rely on repr, which can be
    incorrect (especially on Python 2).

19.1

  • Issue 215: The bootstrap script ez_setup.py now
    automatically detects
    the latest version of setuptools (using PyPI JSON API) rather
    than hard-coding a particular value.
  • Issue 475: Fix incorrect usage in _translate_metadata2.

19.0

  • Issue 442: Use RawConfigParser for parsing .pypirc file.
    Interpolated values are no longer honored in .pypirc files.

18.8.1

  • Issue 440: Prevent infinite recursion when a SandboxViolation
    or other UnpickleableException occurs in a sandbox context
    with setuptools hidden. Fixes regression introduced in Setuptools
    12.0.

18.8

  • Deprecated egg_info.get_pkg_info_revision.
  • Issue 471: Don't rely on repr for an HTML attribute value in
    package_index.
  • Issue 419: Avoid errors in FileMetadata when the metadata directory
    is broken.
  • Issue 472: Remove deprecated use of 'U' in mode parameter
    when opening files.

18.7.1

  • Issue 469: Refactored logic for Issue 419 fix to re-use metadata
    loading from Provider.

18.7

  • Update dependency on certify.
  • BB Pull Request 160: Improve detection of gui script in
    easy_install._adjust_header.
  • Made test.test_args a non-data property; alternate fix
    for the issue reported in BB Pull Request 155.
  • Issue 453: In ez_setup bootstrap module, unload all
    pkg_resources modules following download.
  • BB Pull Request 158: Honor PEP-488 when excluding
    files for namespace packages.
  • Issue 419 and BB Pull Request 144: Add experimental support for
    reading the version info from distutils-installed metadata rather
    than using the version in the filename.

18.6.1

  • Issue 464: Correct regression in invocation of superclass on old-style
    class on Python 2.

18.6

  • Issue 439: When installing entry_point scripts under development,
    omit the version number of the package, allowing any version of the
    package to be used.

18.5

  • In preparation for dropping support for Python 3.2, a warning is
    now logged when pkg_resources is imported on Python 3.2 or earlier
    Python 3 versions.
  • Add support for python_platform_implementation environment marker <https://github.com/jaraco/setuptools/pull/28>_.
  • Fix dictionary mutation during iteration <https://github.com/jaraco/setuptools/pull/29>_.

18.4

  • Issue 446: Test command now always invokes unittest, even
    if no test suite is supplied.

18.3.2

  • Correct another regression in setuptools.findall
    where the fix for Python 12885 was lost.

18.3.1

  • Issue 425: Correct regression in setuptools.findall.

18.3

  • Setuptools now allows disabling of the manipulation of the sys.path
    during the processing of the easy-install.pth file. To do so, set
    the environment variable SETUPTOOLS_SYS_PATH_TECHNIQUE to
    anything but "rewrite" (consider "raw"). During any install operation
    with manipulation disabled, setuptools packages will be appended to
    sys.path naturally.

    Future versions may change the default behavior to disable
    manipulation. If so, the default behavior can be retained by setting
    the variable to "rewrite".

  • Issue 257: easy_install --version now shows more detail
    about the installation location and Python version.

  • Refactor setuptools.findall in preparation for re-submission
    back to distutils.

18.2

  • Issue 412: More efficient directory search in find_packages.

18.1

  • Upgrade to vendored packaging 15.3.

18.0.1

  • Issue 401: Fix failure in test suite.

18.0

  • Dropped support for builds with Pyrex. Only Cython is supported.

  • Issue 288: Detect Cython later in the build process, after
    setup_requires dependencies are resolved.
    Projects backed by Cython can now be readily built
    with a setup_requires dependency. For example::

    ext = setuptools.Extension('mylib', ['src/CythonStuff.pyx', 'src/CStuff.c'])
    setuptools.setup(
    ...
    ext_modules=[ext],
    setup_requires=['cython'],
    )

    For compatibility with older versions of setuptools, packagers should
    still include src/CythonMod.c in the source distributions or
    require that Cython be present before building source distributions.
    However, for systems with this build of setuptools, Cython will be
    downloaded on demand.

  • Issue 396: Fixed test failure on OS X.

  • BB Pull Request 136: Remove excessive quoting from shebang headers
    for Jython.

17.1.1

  • Backed out unintended changes to pkg_resources, restoring removal of
    deprecated imp module (ref <https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/commits/f572ec9563d647fa8d4ffc534f2af8070ea07a8bcomment-1881283>_).

17.1

  • Issue 380: Add support for range operators on environment
    marker evaluation.

17.0

  • Issue 378: Do not use internal importlib._bootstrap module.
  • Issue 390: Disallow console scripts with path separators in
    the name. Removes unintended functionality and brings behavior
    into parity with pip.

16.0

  • BB Pull Request 130: Better error messages for errors in
    parsed requirements.
  • BB Pull Request 133: Removed setuptools.tests from the
    installed packages.
  • BB Pull Request 129: Address deprecation warning due to usage
    of imp module.

15.2

  • Issue 373: Provisionally expose
    pkg_resources._initialize_master_working_set, allowing for
    imperative re-initialization of the master working set.

15.1

  • Updated to Packaging 15.1 to address Packaging 28.
  • Fix setuptools.sandbox._execfile() with Python 3.1.

15.0

  • BB Pull Request 126: DistributionNotFound message now lists the package or
    packages that required it. E.g.::

    pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'colorama>=0.3.1' distribution was not found and is required by smlib.log.

    Note that zc.buildout once dependended on the string rendering of this
    message to determine the package that was not found. This expectation
    has since been changed, but older versions of buildout may experience
    problems. See Buildout 242 for details.

14.3.1

  • Issue 307: Removed PEP-440 warning during parsing of versions
    in pkg_resources.Distribution.
  • Issue 364: Replace deprecated usage with recommended usage of
    EntryPoint.load.

14.3

  • Issue 254: When creating temporary egg cache on Unix, use mode 755
    for creating the directory to avoid the subsequent warning if
    the directory is group writable.

14.2

  • Issue 137: Update Distribution.hashcmp so that Distributions with
    None for pyversion or platform can be compared against Distributions
    defining those attributes.

14.1.1

  • Issue 360: Removed undesirable behavior from test runs, preventing
    write tests and installation to system site packages.

14.1

  • BB Pull Request 125: Add __ne__ to Requirement class.
  • Various refactoring of easy_install.

14.0

  • Bootstrap script now accepts --to-dir to customize save directory or
    allow for re-use of existing repository of setuptools versions. See
    BB Pull Request 112 for background.
  • Issue 285: easy_install no longer will default to installing
    packages to the "user site packages" directory if it is itself installed
    there. Instead, the user must pass --user in all cases to install
    packages to the user site packages.
    This behavior now matches that of "pip install". To configure
    an environment to always install to the user site packages, consider
    using the "install-dir" and "scripts-dir" parameters to easy_install
    through an appropriate distutils config file.

13.0.2

  • Issue 359: Include pytest.ini in the sdist so invocation of py.test on the
    sdist honors the pytest configuration.

13.0.1

Re-release of 13.0. Intermittent connectivity issues caused the release
process to fail and PyPI uploads no longer accept files for 13.0.

13.0

  • Issue 356: Back out BB Pull Request 119 as it requires Setuptools 10 or later
    as the source during an upgrade.
  • Removed build_py class from setup.py. According to 892f439d216e, this
    functionality was added to support upgrades from old Distribute versions,
    0.6.5 and 0.6.6.

12.4

  • BB Pull Request 119: Restore writing of setup_requires to metadata
    (previously added in 8.4 and removed in 9.0).

12.3

  • Documentation is now linked using the rst.linker package.
  • Fix setuptools.command.easy_install.extract_wininst_cfg()
    with Python 2.6 and 2.7.
  • Issue 354. Added documentation on building setuptools
    documentation.

12.2

  • Issue 345: Unload all modules under pkg_resources during
    ez_setup.use_setuptools().
  • Issue 336: Removed deprecation from ez_setup.use_setuptools,
    as it is clearly still used by buildout's bootstrap. ez_setup
    remains deprecated for use by individual packages.
  • Simplified implementation of ez_setup.use_setuptools.

12.1

  • BB Pull Request 118: Soften warning for non-normalized versions in
    Distribution.

12.0.5

  • Issue 339: Correct Attribute reference in cant_write_to_target.
  • Issue 336: Deprecated ez_setup.use_setuptools.

12.0.4

  • Issue 335: Fix script header generation on Windows.

12.0.3

  • Fixed incorrect class attribute in install_scripts. Tests would be nice.

12.0.2

  • Issue 331: Fixed install_scripts command on Windows systems corrupting
    the header.

12.0.1

  • Restore setuptools.command.easy_install.sys_executable for pbr
    compatibility. For the future, tools should construct a CommandSpec
    explicitly.

12.0

  • Issue 188: Setuptools now support multiple entities in the value for
    build.executable, such that an executable of "/usr/bin/env my-python" may
    be specified. This means that systems with a specified executable whose name
    has spaces in the path must be updated to escape or quote that value.
  • Deprecated easy_install.ScriptWriter.get_writer, replaced by .best()
    with slightly different semantics (no force_windows flag).

11.3.1

  • Issue 327: Formalize and restore support for any printable character in an
    entry point name.

11.3

  • Expose EntryPoint.resolve in place of EntryPoint._load, implementing the
    simple, non-requiring load. Deprecated all uses of EntryPoint._load
    except for calling with no parameters, which is just a shortcut for
    ep.require(); ep.resolve();.

    Apps currently invoking ep.load(require=False) should instead do the
    following if wanting to avoid the deprecating warning::

    getattr(ep, "resolve", lambda: ep.load(require=False))()

11.2

  • Pip 2326: Report deprecation warning at stacklevel 2 for easier diagnosis.

11.1

  • Issue 281: Since Setuptools 6.1 (Issue 268), a ValueError would be raised
    in certain cases where VersionConflict was raised with two arguments, which
    occurred in pkg_resources.WorkingSet.find. This release adds support
    for indicating the dependent packages while maintaining support for
    a VersionConflict when no dependent package context is known. New unit tests
    now capture the expected interface.

11.0

  • Interop 3: Upgrade to Packaging 15.0; updates to PEP 440 so that >1.7 does
    not exclude 1.7.1 but does exclude 1.7.0 and 1.7.0.post1.

10.2.1

  • Issue 323: Fix regression in entry point name parsing.

10.2

  • Deprecated use of EntryPoint.load(require=False). Passing a boolean to a
    function to select behavior is an anti-pattern. Instead use
    Entrypoint._load().
  • Substantial refactoring of all unit tests. Tests are now much leaner and
    re-use a lot of fixtures and contexts for better clarity of purpose.

10.1

  • Issue 320: Added a compatibility implementation of
    sdist._default_revctrl
    so that systems relying on that interface do not fail (namely, Ubuntu 12.04
    and similar Debian releases).

10.0.1

  • Issue 319: Fixed issue installing pure distutils packages.

10.0

  • Issue 313: Removed built-in support for subversion. Projects wishing to
    retain support for subversion will need to use a third party library. The
    extant implementation is being ported to setuptools_svn <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools_svn>_.
  • Issue 315: Updated setuptools to hide its own loaded modules during
    installation of another package. This change will enable setuptools to
    upgrade (or downgrade) itself even when its own metadata and implementation
    change.

9.1

  • Prefer vendored packaging library as recommended <https://github.com/jaraco/setuptools/commit/170657b68f4b92e7e1bf82f5e19a831f5744af67commitcomment-9109448>_.

9.0.1

  • Issue 312: Restored presence of pkg_resources API tests (doctest) to sdist.

9.0

  • Issue 314: Disabled support for setup_requires metadata to avoid issue
    where Setuptools was unable to upgrade over earlier versions.

8.4

  • BB Pull Request 106: Now write setup_requires metadata.

8.3

  • Issue 311: Decoupled pkg_resources from setuptools once again.
    pkg_resources is now a package instead of a module.

8.2.1

  • Issue 306: Suppress warnings about Version format except in select scenarios
    (such as installation).

8.2

  • BB Pull Request 85: Search egg-base when adding egg-info to manifest.

8.1

  • Upgrade packaging to 14.5, giving preference to "rc" as designator for
    release candidates over "c".
  • PEP-440 warnings are now raised as their own class,
    pkg_resources.PEP440Warning, instead of RuntimeWarning.
  • Disabled warnings on empty versions.

8.0.4

  • Upgrade packaging to 14.4, fixing an error where there is a
    different result for if 2.0.5 is contained within >2.0dev and >2.0.dev even
    though normalization rules should have made them equal.
  • Issue 296: Add warning when a version is parsed as legacy. This warning will
    make it easier for developers to recognize deprecated version numbers.

8.0.3

  • Issue 296: Restored support for __hash__ on parse_version results.

8.0.2

  • Issue 296: Restored support for __getitem__ and sort operations on
    parse_version result.

8.0.1

  • Issue 296: Restore support for iteration over parse_version result, but
    deprecated that usage with a warning. Fixes failure with buildout.

8.0

  • Implement PEP 440 within
    pkg_resources and setuptools. This change
    deprecates some version numbers such that they will no longer be installable
    without using the === escape hatch. See the changes to test_resources <https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/commits/dcd552da643c4448056de84c73d56da6d70769d5chg-setuptools/tests/test_resources.py>_
    for specific examples of version numbers and specifiers that are no longer
    supported. Setuptools now "vendors" the packaging <https://github.com/pypa/packaging>_ library.

7.0

  • Issue 80, Issue 209: Eggs that are downloaded for setup_requires,
    test_requires, etc. are now placed in a ./.eggs directory instead of
    directly in the current directory. This choice of location means the files
    can be readily managed (removed, ignored). Additionally,
    later phases or invocations of setuptools will not detect the package as
    already installed and ignore it for permanent install (See 209).

    This change is indicated as backward-incompatible as installations that
    depend on the installation in the current directory will need to account for
    the new location. Systems that ignore *.egg will probably need to be
    adapted to ignore .eggs. The files will need to be manually moved or
    will be retrieved again. Most use cases will require no attention.

6.1

  • Issue 268: When resolving package versions, a VersionConflict now reports
    which package previously required the conflicting version.

6.0.2

  • Issue 262: Fixed regression in pip install due to egg-info directories
    being omitted. Re-opens Issue 118.

6.0.1

  • Issue 259: Fixed regression with namespace package handling on single version, externally managed installs.

6.0

  • Issue 100: When building a distribution, Setuptools will no longer match
    default files using platform-dependent case sensitivity, but rather will
    only match the files if their case matches exactly. As a result, on Windows
    and other case-insensitive file systems, files with names such as
    'readme.txt' or 'README.TXT' will be omitted from the distribution and a
    warning will be issued indicating that 'README.txt' was not found. Other
    filenames affected are:

    • README.rst
      • README
      • setup.cfg
      • setup.py (or the script name)
      • test/test*.py

    Any users producing distributions with filenames that match those above
    case-insensitively, but not case-sensitively, should rename those files in
    their repository for better portability.

  • BB Pull Request 72: When using single_version_externally_managed, the
    exclusion list now includes Python 3.2 __pycache__ entries.

  • BB Pull Request 76 and BB Pull Request 78: lines in top_level.txt are now
    ordered deterministically.

  • Issue 118: The egg-info directory is now no longer included in the list
    of outputs.

  • Issue 258: Setuptools now patches distutils msvc9compiler to
    recognize the specially-packaged compiler package for easy extension module
    support on Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.2.

5.8

  • Issue 237: pkg_resources now uses explicit detection of Python 2 vs.
    Python 3, supporting environments where builtins have been patched to make
    Python 3 look more like Python 2.

5.7

  • Issue 240: Based on real-world performance measures against 5.4, zip
    manifests are now cached in all circumstances. The
    PKG_RESOURCES_CACHE_ZIP_MANIFESTS environment variable is no longer
    relevant. The observed "memory increase" referenced in the 5.4 release
    notes and detailed in Issue 154 was likely not an increase over the status
    quo, but rather only an increase over not storing the zip info at all.

5.6

  • Issue 242: Use absolute imports in svn_utils to avoid issues if the
    installing package adds an xml module to the path.

5.5.1

  • Issue 239: Fix typo in 5.5 such that fix did not take.

5.5

  • Issue 239: Setuptools now includes the setup_requires directive on
    Distribution objects and validates the syntax just like install_requires
    and tests_require directives.

5.4.2

  • Issue 236: Corrected regression in execfile implementation for Python 2.6.

5.4.1

  • Python 7776: (ssl_support) Correct usage of host for validation when
    tunneling for HTTPS.

5.4

  • Issue 154: pkg_resources will now cache the zip manifests rather than
    re-processing the same file from disk multiple times, but only if the
    environment variable PKG_RESOURCES_CACHE_ZIP_MANIFESTS is set. Clients
    that package many modules in the same zip file will see some improvement
    in startup time by enabling this feature. This feature is not enabled by
    default because it causes a substantial increase in memory usage.

5.3

  • Issue 185: Make svn tagging work on the new style SVN metadata.
    Thanks cazabon!
  • Prune revision control directories (e.g .svn) from base path
    as well as sub-directories.

5.2

  • Added a Developer Guide <https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/developer-guide.html>_ to the official
    documentation.
  • Some code refactoring and cleanup was done with no intended behavioral
    changes.
  • During install_egg_info, the generated lines for namespace package .pth
    files are now processed even during a dry run.

5.1

  • Issue 202: Implemented more robust cache invalidation for the ZipImporter,
    building on the work in Issue 168. Special thanks to Jurko Gospodnetic and
    PJE.

5.0.2

  • Issue 220: Restored script templates.

5.0.1

  • Renamed script templates to end with .tmpl now that they no longer need
    to be processed by 2to3. Fixes spurious syntax errors during build/install.

5.0

  • Issue 218: Re-release of 3.8.1 to signal that it supersedes 4.x.
  • Incidentally, script templates were updated not to include the triple-quote
    escaping.

4.0

  • Issue 210: setup.py develop now copies scripts in binary mode rather
    than text mode, matching the behavior of the install command.

3.8

  • Extend Issue 197 workaround to include all Python 3 versions prior to
    3.2.2.

3.7.1

  • Issue 213: Use legacy StringIO behavior for compatibility under pbr.
  • Issue 218: Setuptools 3.8.1 superseded 4.0.1, and 4.x was removed
    from the available versions to install.

3.7

  • Issue 193: Improved handling of Unicode filenames when building manifests.

3.6

  • Issue 203: Honor proxy settings for Powershell downloader in the bootstrap
    routine.

3.5.2

  • Issue 168: More robust handling of replaced zip files and stale caches.
    Fixes ZipImportError complaining about a 'bad local header'.

3.5.1

  • Issue 199: Restored install._install for compatibility with earlier
    NumPy versions.

3.5

  • Issue 195: Follow symbolic links in find_packages (restoring behavior
    broken in 3.4).
  • Issue 197: On Python 3.1, PKG-INFO is now saved in a UTF-8 encoding instead
    of sys.getpreferredencoding to match the behavior on Python 2.6-3.4.
  • Issue 192: Preferred bootstrap location is now
    https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py (mirrored from former location).

3.4.4

  • Issue 184: Correct failure where find_package over-matched packages
    when directory traversal isn't short-circuited.

3.4.3

  • Issue 183: Really fix test command with Python 3.1.

3.4.2

  • Issue 183: Fix additional regression in test command on Python 3.1.

3.4.1

  • Issue 180: Fix regression in test command not caught by py.test-run tests.

3.4

  • Issue 176: Add parameter to the test command to support a custom test
    runner: --test-runner or -r.
  • Issue 177: Now assume most common invocation to install command on
    platforms/environments without stack support (issuing a warning). Setuptools
    now installs naturally on IronPython. Behavior on CPython should be
    unchanged.

3.3

  • Add include parameter to setuptools.find_packages().

3.2

  • BB Pull Request 39: Add support for C++ targets from Cython .pyx files.
  • Issue 162: Update dependency on certifi to 1.0.1.
  • Issue 164: Update dependency on wincertstore to 0.2.

3.1

  • Issue 161: Restore Features functionality to allow backward compatibility
    (for Features) until the uses of that functionality is sufficiently removed.

3.0.2

  • Correct typo in previous bugfix.

3.0.1

  • Issue 157: Restore support for Python 2.6 in bootstrap script where
    zipfile.ZipFile does not yet have support for context managers.

3.0

  • Issue 125: Prevent Subversion support from creating a ~/.subversion
    directory just for checking the presence of a Subversion repository.
  • Issue 12: Namespace packages are now imported lazily. That is, the mere
    declaration of a namespace package in an egg on sys.path no longer
    causes it to be imported when pkg_resources is imported. Note that this
    change means that all of a namespace package's __init__.py files must
    include a declare_namespace() call in order to ensure that they will be
    handled properly at runtime. In 2.x it was possible to get away without
    including the declaration, but only at the cost of forcing namespace
    packages to be imported early, which 3.0 no longer does.
  • Issue 148: When building (bdist_egg), setuptools no longer adds
    __init__.py files to namespace packages. Any packages that rely on this
    behavior will need to create __init__.py files and include the
    declare_namespace().
  • Issue 7: Setuptools itself is now distributed as a zip archive in addition to
    tar archive. ez_setup.py now uses zip archive. This approach avoids the potential
    security vulnerabilities presented by use of tar archives in ez_setup.py.
    It also leverages the security features added to ZipFile.extract in Python 2.7.4.
  • Issue 65: Removed deprecated Features functionality.
  • BB Pull Request 28: Remove backport of _bytecode_filenames which is
    available in Python 2.6 and later, but also has better compatibility with
    Python 3 environments.
  • Issue 156: Fix spelling of PYVENV_LAUNCHER variable.

2.2

  • Issue 141: Restored fix for allowing setup_requires dependencies to
    override installed dependencies during setup.
  • Issue 128: Fixed issue where only the first dependency link was honored
    in a distribution where multiple dependency links were supplied.

2.1.2

  • Issue 144: Read long_description using codecs module to avoid errors
    installing on systems where LANG=C.

2.1.1

  • Issue 139: Fix regression in re_finder for CVS repos (and maybe Git repos
    as well).

2.1

  • Issue 129: Suppress inspection of *.whl files when searching for files
    in a zip-imported file.
  • Issue 131: Fix RuntimeError when constructing an egg fetcher.

2.0.2

  • Fix NameError during installation with Python implementations (e.g. Jython)
    not containing parser module.
  • Fix NameError in sdist:re_finder.

2.0.1

  • Issue 124: Fixed error in list detection in upload_docs.

2.0

  • Issue 121: Exempt lib2to3 pickled grammars from DirectorySandbox.
  • Issue 41: Dropped support for Python 2.4 and Python 2.5. Clients requiring
    setuptools for those versions of Python should use setuptools 1.x.
  • Removed setuptools.command.easy_install.HAS_USER_SITE. Clients
    expecting this boolean variable should use site.ENABLE_USER_SITE
    instead.
  • Removed pkg_resources.ImpWrapper. Clients that expected this class
    should use pkgutil.ImpImporter instead.

1.4.2

  • Issue 116: Correct TypeError when reading a local package index on Python
    3.

1.4.1

  • Issue 114: Use sys.getfilesystemencoding for decoding config in
    bdist_wininst distributions.

  • Issue 105 and Issue 113: Establish a more robust technique for
    determining the terminal encoding::

    1. Try getpreferredencoding
      1. If that returns US_ASCII or None, try the encoding from
        getdefaultlocale. If that encoding was a "fallback" because Python
        could not figure it out from the environment or OS, encoding remains
        unresolved.
      2. If the encoding is resolved, then make sure Python actually implements
        the encoding.
      3. On the event of an error or unknown codec, revert to fallbacks
        (UTF-8 on Darwin, ASCII on everything else).
      4. On the encoding is 'mac-roman' on Darwin, use UTF-8 as 'mac-roman' was
        a bug on older Python releases.

    On a side note, it would seem that the encoding only matters for when SVN
    does not yet support --xml and when getting repository and svn version
    numbers. The --xml technique should yield UTF-8 according to some
    messages on the SVN mailing lists. So if the version numbers are always
    7-bit ASCII clean, it may be best to only support the file parsing methods
    for legacy SVN releases and support for SVN without the subprocess command
    would simple go away as support for the older SVNs does.

1.4

  • Issue 27: easy_install will now use credentials from .pypirc if
    present for connecting to the package index.
  • BB Pull Request 21: Omit unwanted newlines in package_index._encode_auth
    when the username/password pair length indicates wrapping.

1.3.2

  • Issue 99: Fix filename encoding issues in SVN support.

1.3.1

  • Remove exuberant warning in SVN support when SVN is not used.

1.3

  • Address security vulnerability in SSL match_hostname check as reported in
    Python 17997.
  • Prefer backports.ssl_match_hostname <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/backports.ssl_match_hostname>_ for backport
    implementation if present.
  • Correct NameError in ssl_support module (socket.error).

1.2

  • Issue 26: Add support for SVN 1.7. Special thanks to Philip Thiem for the
    contribution.
  • Issue 93: Wheels are now distributed with every release. Note that as
    reported in Issue 108, as of Pip 1.4, scripts aren't installed properly
    from wheels. Therefore, if using Pip to install setuptools from a wheel,
    the easy_install command will not be available.
  • Setuptools "natural" launcher support, introduced in 1.0, is now officially
    supported.

1.1.7

  • Fixed behavior of NameError handling in 'script template (dev).py' (script
    launcher for 'develop' installs).
  • ez_setup.py now ensures partial downloads are cleaned up following
    a failed download.
  • Distribute 363 and Issue 55: Skip an sdist test that fails on locales
    other than UTF-8.

1.1.6

  • Distribute 349: sandbox.execfile now opens the target file in binary
    mode, thus honoring a BOM in the file when compiled.

1.1.5

  • Issue 69: Second attempt at fix (logic was reversed).

1.1.4

  • Issue 77: Fix error in upload command (Python 2.4).

1.1.3

  • Fix NameError in previous patch.

1.1.2

  • Issue 69: Correct issue where 404 errors are returned for URLs with
    fragments in them (such as egg=).

1.1.1

  • Issue 75: Add --insecure option to ez_setup.py to accommodate
    environments where a trusted SSL connection cannot be validated.
  • Issue 76: Fix AttributeError in upload command with Python 2.4.

1.1

  • Issue 71 (Distribute 333): EasyInstall now puts less emphasis on the
    condition when a host is blocked via --allow-hosts.
  • Issue 72: Restored Python 2.4 compatibility in ez_setup.py.

1.0

  • Issue 60: On Windows, Setuptools supports deferring to another launcher,
    such as Vinay Sajip's pylauncher <https://bitbucket.org/pypa/pylauncher>_
    (included with Python 3.3) to launch console and GUI scripts and not install
    its own launcher executables. This experimental functionality is currently
    only enabled if the SETUPTOOLS_LAUNCHER environment variable is set to
    "natural". In the future, this behavior may become default, but only after
    it has matured and seen substantial adoption. The SETUPTOOLS_LAUNCHER
    also accepts "executable" to force the default behavior of creating launcher
    executables.
  • Issue 63: Bootstrap script (ez_setup.py) now prefers Powershell, curl, or
    wget for retrieving the Setuptools tarball for improved security of the
    install. The script will still fall back to a simple urlopen on
    platforms that do not have these tools.
  • Issue 65: Deprecated the Features functionality.
  • Issue 52: In VerifyingHTTPSConn, handle a tunnelled (proxied)
    connection.

Backward-Incompatible Changes

This release includes a couple of backward-incompatible changes, but most if
not all users will find 1.0 a drop-in replacement for 0.9.

  • Issue 50: Normalized API of environment marker support. Specifically,
    removed line number and filename from SyntaxErrors when returned from
    pkg_resources.invalid_marker. Any clients depending on the specific
    string representation of exceptions returned by that function may need to
    be updated to account for this change.
  • Issue 50: SyntaxErrors generated by pkg_resources.invalid_marker are
    normalized for cross-implementation consistency.
  • Removed --ignore-conflicts-at-my-risk and --delete-conflicting
    options to easy_install. These options have been deprecated since 0.6a11.

0.9.8

  • Issue 53: Fix NameErrors in _vcs_split_rev_from_url.

0.9.7

  • Issue 49: Correct AttributeError on PyPy where a hashlib.HASH object does
    not have a .name attribute.
  • Issue 34: Documentation now refers to bootstrap script in code repository
    referenced by bookmark.
  • Add underscore-separated keys to environment markers (markerlib).

0.9.6

  • Issue 44: Test failure on Python 2.4 when MD5 hash doesn't have a .name
    attribute.

0.9.5

  • Python 17980: Fix security vulnerability in SSL certificate validation.

0.9.4

  • Issue 43: Fix issue (introduced in 0.9.1) with version resolution when
    upgrading over other releases of Setuptools.

0.9.3

  • Issue 42: Fix new AttributeError introduced in last fix.

0.9.2

  • Issue 42: Fix regression where blank checksums would trigger an
    AttributeError.

  • Distribute 386: Allow other positional and keyword arguments to os.open.
  • Corrected dependency on certifi mis-referenced in 0.9.

0.9

  • package_index now validates hashes other than MD5 in download links.

0.8

  • Code base now runs on Python 2.4 - Python 3.3 without Python 2to3
    conversion.

0.7.8

  • Distribute 375: Yet another fix for yet another regression.

0.7.7

  • Distribute 375: Repair AttributeError created in last release (redo).
  • Issue 30: Added test for get_cache_path.

0.7.6

  • Distribute 375: Repair AttributeError created in last release.

0.7.5

  • Issue 21: Restore Python 2.4 compatibility in test_easy_install.
  • Distribute 375: Merged additional warning from Distribute 0.6.46.
  • Now honor the environment variable
    SETUPTOOLS_DISABLE_VERSIONED_EASY_INSTALL_SCRIPT in addition to the now
    deprecated DISTRIBUTE_DISABLE_VERSIONED_EASY_INSTALL_SCRIPT.

0.7.4

  • Issue 20: Fix comparison of parsed SVN version on Python 3.

0.7.3

  • Issue 1: Disable installation of Windows-specific files on non-Windows systems.
  • Use new sysconfig module with Python 2.7 or >=3.2.

0.7.2

  • Issue 14: Use markerlib when the parser module is not available.
  • Issue 10: ez_setup.py now uses HTTPS to download setuptools from PyPI.

0.7.1

  • Fix NameError (Issue 3) again - broken in bad merge.

0.7

  • Merged Setuptools and Distribute. See docs/merge.txt for details.

0.7b4

  • Issue 3: Fixed NameError in SSL support.

0.6.49

  • Move warning check in get_cache_path to follow the directory creation
    to avoid errors when the cache path does not yet exist. Fixes the error
    reported in Distribute 375.

0.6.48

  • Correct AttributeError in ResourceManager.get_cache_path introduced in
    0.6.46 (redo).

0.6.47

  • Correct AttributeError in ResourceManager.get_cache_path introduced in
    0.6.46.

0.6.46

  • Distribute 375: Issue a warning if the PYTHON_EGG_CACHE or otherwise
    customized egg cache location specifies a directory that's group- or
    world-writable.

0.6.45

  • Distribute 379: distribute_setup.py now traps VersionConflict as well,
    restoring ability to upgrade from an older setuptools version.

0.6.44

  • distribute_setup.py has been updated to allow Setuptools 0.7 to
    satisfy use_setuptools.

0.6.43

  • Distribute 378: Restore support for Python 2.4 Syntax (regression in 0.6.42).

0.6.42

  • External links finder no longer yields duplicate links.
  • Distribute 337: Moved site.py to setuptools/site-patch.py (graft of very old
    patch from setuptools trunk which inspired PR 31).

0.6.41

  • Distribute 27: Use public api for loading resources from zip files rather than
    the private method _zip_directory_cache.
  • Added a new function easy_install.get_win_launcher which may be used by
    third-party libraries such as buildout to get a suitable script launcher.

0.6.40

  • Distribute 376: brought back cli.exe and gui.exe that were deleted in the
    previous release.

0.6.39

  • Add support for console launchers on ARM platforms.
  • Fix possible issue in GUI launchers where the subsystem was not supplied to
    the linker.
  • Launcher build script now refactored for robustness.
  • Distribute 375: Resources extracted from a zip egg to the file system now also
    check the contents of the file against the zip contents during each
    invocation of get_resource_filename.

0.6.38

  • Distribute 371: The launcher manifest file is now installed properly.

0.6.37

  • Distribute 143: Launcher scripts, including easy_install itself, are now
    accompanied by a manifest on 32-bit Windows environments to avoid the
    Installer Detection Technology and thus undesirable UAC elevation described
    in this Microsoft article <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc709628%28WS.10%29.aspx>_.

0.6.36

  • BB Pull Request 35: In Buildout 64, it was reported that
    under Python 3, installation of distutils scripts could attempt to copy
    the __pycache__ directory as a file, causing an error, apparently only
    under Windows. Easy_install now skips all directories when processing
    metadata scripts.

0.6.35

Note this release is backward-incompatible with distribute 0.6.23-0.6.34 in
how it parses version numbers.

  • Distribute 278: Restored compatibility with distribute 0.6.22 and setuptools
    0.6. Updated the documentation to match more closely with the version
    parsing as intended in setuptools 0.6.

0.6.34

  • Distribute 341: 0.6.33 fails to build under Python 2.4.

0.6.33

  • Fix 2 errors with Jython 2.5.
  • Fix 1 failure with Jython 2.5 and 2.7.
  • Disable workaround for Jython scripts on Linux systems.
  • Distribute 336: setup.py no longer masks failure exit code when tests fail.
  • Fix issue in pkg_resources where try/except around a platform-dependent
    import would trigger hook load failures on Mercurial. See pull request 32
    for details.
  • Distribute 341: Fix a ResourceWarning.

0.6.32

  • Fix test suite with Python 2.6.
  • Fix some DeprecationWarnings and ResourceWarnings.
  • Distribute 335: Backed out setup_requires superceding installed requirements
    until regression can be addressed.

0.6.31

  • Distribute 303: Make sure the manifest only ever contains UTF-8 in Python 3.

  • Distribute 329: Properly close files created by tests for compatibility with
    Jython.

  • Work around Jython 1980 and Jython 1981.

  • Distribute 334: Provide workaround for packages that reference sys.__stdout__
    such as numpy does. This change should address
    virtualenv 359 <https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/359>_ as long
    as the system encoding is UTF-8 or the IO encoding is specified in the
    environment, i.e.::

    PYTHONIOENCODING=utf8 pip install numpy

  • Fix for encoding issue when installing from Windows executable on Python 3.

  • Distribute 323: Allow setup_requires requirements to supercede installed
    requirements. Added some new keyword arguments to existing pkg_resources
    methods. Also had to updated how path is handled for namespace packages
    to ensure that when a new egg distribution containing a namespace package is
    placed on sys.path, the entries in path are found in the same order they
    would have been in had that egg been on the path when pkg_resources was
    first imported.

0.6.30

  • Distribute 328: Clean up temporary directories in distribute_setup.py.
  • Fix fatal bug in distribute_setup.py.

0.6.29

  • If Sphinx is installed, the upload_docs command now runs build_sphinx
    to produce uploadable documentation.
  • Distribute 326: upload_docs provided mangled auth credentials under Python 3.

  • Distribute 299: The develop command didn't work on Python 3, when using 2to3,
    as the egg link would go to the Python 2 source. Linking to the 2to3'd code
    in build/lib makes it work, although you will have to rebuild the module
    before testing it.
  • Distribute 306: Even if 2to3 is used, we build in-place under Python 2.
  • Distribute 307: Prints the full path when .svn/entries is broken.

  • Distribute 147: respect the sys.dont_write_bytecode flag

0.6.10

  • Reverted change made for the DistributionNotFound exception because
    zc.buildout uses the exception message to get the name of the
    distribution.

0.6.9

  • Distribute 90: unknown setuptools version can be added in the working set
  • Distribute 87: setupt.py doesn't try to convert distribute_setup.py anymore
    Initial Patch by arfrever.

  • Distribute 70: exec bit on non-exec files
  • Distribute 99: now the standalone easy_install command doesn't uses a
    "setup.cfg" if any exists in the working directory. It will use it
    only if triggered by install_requires from a setup.py call

  • Distribute 101: Allowing os.devnull in Sandbox
  • Distribute 92: Fixed the "no eggs" found error with MacPort
    (platform.mac_ver() fails)

  • Fixed the DONT_PATCH_SETUPTOOLS state.

0.6.7

  • Distribute 58: Added --user support to the develop command
  • Distribute 11: Generated scripts now wrap their call to the script entry point
    in the standard "if name == 'main'"
  • Added the 'DONT_PATCH_SETUPTOOLS' environment variable, so virtualenv
    can drive an installation that doesn't patch a global setuptools.
  • Reviewed unladen-swallow specific change from
    http://code.google.com/p/unladen-swallow/source/detail?spec=svn875&r=719
    and determined that it no longer applies. Distribute should work fine with
    Unladen Swallow 2009Q3.
  • Distribute 21: Allow PackageIndex.open_url to gracefully handle all cases of a
    httplib.HTTPException instead of just InvalidURL and BadStatusLine.
  • Removed virtual-python.py from this distribution and updated documentation
    to point to the actively maintained virtualenv instead.
  • Distribute 64: use_setuptools no longer rebuilds the distribute egg every
    time it is run
  • use_setuptools now properly respects the requested version
  • use_setuptools will no longer try to import a distribute egg for the
    wrong Python version
  • Distribute 74: no_fake should be True by default.
  • Distribute 72: avoid a bootstrapping issue with easy_install -U

0.6.6

  • Unified the bootstrap file so it works on both py2.x and py3k without 2to3
    (patch by Holger Krekel)

0.6.5

  • Distribute 65: cli.exe and gui.exe are now generated at build time,
    depending on the platform in use.
  • Distribute 67: Fixed doc typo (PEP 381/PEP 382).
  • Distribute no longer shadows setuptools if we require a 0.7-series
    setuptools. And an error is raised when installing a 0.7 setuptools with
    distribute.
  • When run from within buildout, no attempt is made to modify an existing
    setuptools egg, whether in a shared egg directory or a system setuptools.
  • Fixed a hole in sandboxing allowing builtin file to write outside of
    the sandbox.

0.6.4

  • Added the generation of distribute_setup_3k.py during the release.
    This closes Distribute 52.
  • Added an upload_docs command to easily upload project documentation to
    PyPI's https://pythonhosted.org. This close issue Distribute 56.
  • Fixed a bootstrap bug on the use_setuptools() API.

0.6.3

setuptools

  • Fixed a bunch of calls to file() that caused crashes on Python 3.

bootstrapping

  • Fixed a bug in sorting that caused bootstrap to fail on Python 3.

0.6.2

setuptools

  • Added Python 3 support; see docs/python3.txt.
    This closes Old Setuptools 39.
  • Added option to run 2to3 automatically when installing on Python 3.
    This closes issue Distribute 31.
  • Fixed invalid usage of requirement.parse, that broke develop -d.
    This closes Old Setuptools 44.

  • Fixed 2.6 dependencies. This closes issue Distribute 50.
  • Make sure setuptools is patched when running through easy_install
    This closes Old Setuptools 40.

0.6.1

setuptools

    This closes Distribute 16 and Distribute 18.
  • zip_ok is now False by default. This closes Old Setuptools 33.
  • Fixed invalid URL error catching. Old Setuptools 20.
  • Fixed invalid bootstraping with easy_install installation (Distribute 40).
    Thanks to Florian Schulze for the help.
  • Removed buildout/bootstrap.py. A new repository will create a specific
    bootstrap.py script.

bootstrapping

  • The boostrap process leave setuptools alone if detected in the system
    and --root or --prefix is provided, but is not in the same location.
    This closes Distribute 10.

0.6

setuptools

  • Packages required at build time where not fully present at install time.
    This closes Distribute 12.
  • Protected against failures in tarfile extraction. This closes Distribute 10.
  • Made Jython api_tests.txt doctest compatible. This closes Distribute 7.
  • sandbox.py replaced builtin type file with builtin function open. This
    closes Distribute 6.
  • Immediately close all file handles. This closes Distribute 3.
  • Added compatibility with Subversion 1.6. This references Distribute 1.

pkg_resources

  • Avoid a call to /usr/bin/sw_vers on OSX and use the official platform API
    instead. Based on a patch from ronaldoussoren. This closes issue 5.
  • Fixed a SandboxViolation for mkdir that could occur in certain cases.
    This closes Distribute 13.
  • Allow to find_on_path on systems with tight permissions to fail gracefully.
    This closes Distribute 9.

easy_install

  • Immediately close all file handles. This closes Distribute 3.

0.6c12

  • Index URL now defaults to HTTPS.
  • Added experimental environment marker support. Now clients may designate a
    PEP-426 environment marker for "extra" dependencies. Setuptools uses this
    feature in setup.py for optional SSL and certificate validation support
    on older platforms. Based on Distutils-SIG discussions, the syntax is
    somewhat tentative. There should probably be a PEP with a firmer spec before
    the feature should be considered suitable for use.
  • Added support for SSL certificate validation when installing packages from
    an HTTPS service.

0.6c9

  • Fixed a missing files problem when using Windows source distributions on
    non-Windows platforms, due to distutils not handling manifest file line
    endings correctly.
  • Updated Pyrex support to work with Pyrex 0.9.6 and higher.
  • Minor changes for Jython compatibility, including skipping tests that can't
    work on Jython.
  • Fixed not installing eggs in install_requires if they were also used for
    setup_requires or tests_require.
  • Fixed not fetching eggs in install_requires when running tests.
  • Allow ez_setup.use_setuptools() to upgrade existing setuptools
    installations when called from a standalone setup.py.
  • Added a warning if a namespace package is declared, but its parent package
    is not also declared as a namespace.
  • Support Subversion 1.5
  • Removed use of deprecated md5 module if hashlib is available
  • Fixed bdist_wininst upload trying to upload the .exe twice
  • Fixed bdist_egg putting a native_libs.txt in the source package's
    .egg-info, when it should only be in the built egg's EGG-INFO.
  • Ensure that _full_name is set on all shared libs before extensions are
    checked for shared lib usage. (Fixes a bug in the experimental shared
    library build support.)
  • Fix to allow unpacked eggs containing native libraries to fail more
    gracefully under Google App Engine (with an ImportError loading the
    C-based module, instead of getting a NameError).

0.6c7

  • Fixed distutils.filelist.findall() crashing on broken symlinks, and
    egg_info command failing on new, uncommitted SVN directories.
  • Fix import problems with nested namespace packages installed via
    --root or --single-version-externally-managed, due to the
    parent package not having the child package as an attribute.

0.6c6

  • Added --egg-path option to develop command, allowing you to force
    .egg-link files to use relative paths (allowing them to be shared across
    platforms on a networked drive).
  • Fix not building binary RPMs correctly.
  • Fix "eggsecutables" (such as setuptools' own egg) only being runnable with
    bash-compatible shells.
  • Fix ! parsing problems in Windows .exe script wrappers, when there
    was whitespace inside a quoted argument or at the end of the ! line
    (a regression introduced in 0.6c4).
  • Fix test command possibly failing if an older version of the project
    being tested was installed on sys.path ahead of the test source
    directory.
  • Fix find_packages() treating ez_setup and directories with . in
    their names as packages.

0.6c5

  • Fix uploaded bdist_rpm packages being described as bdist_egg
    packages under Python versions less than 2.5.
  • Fix uploaded bdist_wininst packages being described as suitable for
    "any" version by Python 2.5, even if a --target-version was specified.

0.6c4

  • Overhauled Windows script wrapping to support bdist_wininst better.
    Scripts installed with bdist_wininst will always use !python.exe or
    !pythonw.exe as the executable name (even when built on non-Windows
    platforms!), and the wrappers will look for the executable in the script's
    parent directory (which should find the right version of Python).
  • Fix upload command not uploading files built by bdist_rpm or
    bdist_wininst under Python 2.3 and 2.4.
  • Add support for "eggsecutable" headers: a !/bin/sh script that is
    prepended to an .egg file to allow it to be run as a script on Unix-ish
    platforms. (This is mainly so that setuptools itself can have a single-file
    installer on Unix, without doing multiple downloads, dealing with firewalls,
    etc.)
  • Fix problem with empty revision numbers in Subversion 1.4 entries files
  • Use cross-platform relative paths in easy-install.pth when doing
    develop and the source directory is a subdirectory of the installation
    target directory.
  • Fix a problem installing eggs with a system packaging tool if the project
    contained an implicit namespace package; for example if the setup()
    listed a namespace package foo.bar without explicitly listing foo
    as a namespace package.

0.6c3

  • Fixed breakages caused by Subversion 1.4's new "working copy" format

0.6c2

  • The ez_setup module displays the conflicting version of setuptools (and
    its installation location) when a script requests a version that's not
    available.
  • Running setup.py develop on a setuptools-using project will now install
    setuptools if needed, instead of only downloading the egg.

0.6c1

  • Fixed AttributeError when trying to download a setup_requires
    dependency when a distribution lacks a dependency_links setting.
  • Made zip-safe and not-zip-safe flag files contain a single byte, so
    as to play better with packaging tools that complain about zero-length
    files.
  • Made setup.py develop respect the --no-deps option, which it
    previously was ignoring.
  • Support extra_path option to setup() when install is run in
    backward-compatibility mode.
  • Source distributions now always include a setup.cfg file that explicitly
    sets egg_info options such that they produce an identical version number
    to the source distribution's version number. (Previously, the default
    version number could be different due to the use of --tag-date, or if
    the version was overridden on the command line that built the source
    distribution.)

0.6b4

  • Fix register not obeying name/version set by egg_info command, if
    egg_info wasn't explicitly run first on the same command line.
  • Added --no-date and --no-svn-revision options to egg_info
    command, to allow suppressing tags configured in setup.cfg.
  • Fixed redundant warnings about missing README file(s); it should now
    appear only if you are actually a source distribution.

0.6b3

  • Fix bdist_egg not including files in subdirectories of .egg-info.
  • Allow .py files found by the include_package_data option to be
    automatically included. Remove duplicate data file matches if both
    include_package_data and package_data are used to refer to the same
    files.

0.6b1

  • Strip module from the end of compiled extension modules when computing
    the name of a .py loader/wrapper. (Python's import machinery ignores
    this suffix when searching for an extension module.)

0.6a11

  • Added test_loader keyword to support custom test loaders
  • Added setuptools.file_finders entry point group to allow implementing
    revision control plugins.
  • Added --identity option to upload command.
  • Added dependency_links to allow specifying URLs for --find-links.
  • Enhanced test loader to scan packages as well as modules, and call
    additional_tests() if present to get non-unittest tests.
  • Support namespace packages in conjunction with system packagers, by omitting
    the installation of any __init__.py files for namespace packages, and
    adding a special .pth file to create a working package in
    sys.modules.
  • Made --single-version-externally-managed automatic when --root is
    used, so that most system packagers won't require special support for
    setuptools.
  • Fixed setup_requires, tests_require, etc. not using setup.cfg or
    other configuration files for their option defaults when installing, and
    also made the install use --multi-version mode so that the project
    directory doesn't need to support .pth files.
  • MANIFEST.in is now forcibly closed when any errors occur while reading
    it. Previously, the file could be left open and the actual error would be
    masked by problems trying to remove the open file on Windows systems.

0.6a10

  • Fixed the develop command ignoring --find-links.

0.6a9

  • The sdist command no longer uses the traditional MANIFEST file to
    create source distributions. MANIFEST.in is still read and processed,
    as are the standard defaults and pruning. But the manifest is built inside
    the project's .egg-info directory as SOURCES.txt, and it is rebuilt
    every time the egg_info command is run.
  • Added the include_package_data keyword to setup(), allowing you to
    automatically include any package data listed in revision control or
    MANIFEST.in
  • Added the exclude_package_data keyword to setup(), allowing you to
    trim back files included via the package_data and
    include_package_data options.
  • Fixed --tag-svn-revision not working when run from a source
    distribution.
  • Added warning for namespace packages with missing declare_namespace()
  • Added tests_require keyword to setup(), so that e.g. packages
    requiring nose to run unit tests can make this dependency optional
    unless the test command is run.
  • Made all commands that use easy_install respect its configuration
    options, as this was causing some problems with setup.py install.
  • Added an unpack_directory() driver to setuptools.archive_util, so
    that you can process a directory tree through a processing filter as if it
    were a zipfile or tarfile.
  • Added an internal install_egg_info command to use as part of old-style
    install operations, that installs an .egg-info directory with the
    package.
  • Added a --single-version-externally-managed option to the install
    command so that you can more easily wrap a "flat" egg in a system package.
  • Enhanced bdist_rpm so that it installs single-version eggs that
    don't rely on a .pth file. The --no-egg option has been removed,
    since all RPMs are now built in a more backwards-compatible format.
  • Support full roundtrip translation of eggs to and from bdist_wininst
    format. Running bdist_wininst on a setuptools-based package wraps the
    egg in an .exe that will safely install it as an egg (i.e., with metadata
    and entry-point wrapper scripts), and easy_install can turn the .exe
    back into an .egg file or directory and install it as such.

0.6a8

  • Fixed some problems building extensions when Pyrex was installed, especially
    with Python 2.4 and/or packages using SWIG.
  • Made develop command accept all the same options as easy_install,
    and use the easy_install command's configuration settings as defaults.
  • Made egg_info --tag-svn-revision fall back to extracting the revision
    number from PKG-INFO in case it is being run on a source distribution of
    a snapshot taken from a Subversion-based project.
  • Automatically detect .dll, .so and .dylib files that are being
    installed as data, adding them to native_libs.txt automatically.
  • Fixed some problems with fresh checkouts of projects that don't include
    .egg-info/PKG-INFO under revision control and put the project's source
    code directly in the project directory. If such a package had any
    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).

0.6a5

  • Fixed missing gui/cli .exe files in distribution. Fixed bugs in tests.

0.6a3

  • Added gui_scripts entry point group to allow installing GUI scripts
    on Windows and other platforms. (The special handling is only for Windows;
    other platforms are treated the same as for console_scripts.)

0.6a2

  • Added console_scripts entry point group to allow installing scripts
    without the need to create separate script files. On Windows, console
    scripts get an .exe wrapper so you can just type their name. On other
    platforms, the scripts are written without a file extension.

0.6a1

  • Added support for building "old-style" RPMs that don't install an egg for
    the target package, using a --no-egg option.
  • The build_ext command now works better when using the --inplace
    option and multiple Python versions. It now makes sure that all extensions
    match the current Python version, even if newer copies were built for a
    different Python version.
  • The upload command no longer attaches an extra .zip when uploading
    eggs, as PyPI now supports egg uploads without trickery.
  • The ez_setup script/module now displays a warning before downloading
    the setuptools egg, and attempts to check the downloaded egg against an
    internal MD5 checksum table.
  • Fixed the --tag-svn-revision option of egg_info not finding the
    latest revision number; it was using the revision number of the directory
    containing setup.py, not the highest revision number in the project.
  • Added eager_resources setup argument
  • The sdist command now recognizes Subversion "deleted file" entries and
    does not include them in source distributions.
  • setuptools now embeds itself more thoroughly into the distutils, so that
    other distutils extensions (e.g. py2exe, py2app) will subclass setuptools'
    versions of things, rather than the native distutils ones.
  • Added entry_points and setup_requires arguments to setup();
    setup_requires allows you to automatically find and download packages
    that are needed in order to build your project (as opposed to running it).
  • setuptools now finds its commands, setup() argument validators, and
    metadata writers using entry points, so that they can be extended by
    third-party packages. See Creating distutils Extensions <http://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.htmlcreating-distutils-extensions>_
    for more details.
  • The vestigial depends command has been removed. It was never finished
    or documented, and never would have worked without EasyInstall - which it
    pre-dated and was never compatible with.

0.5a12

  • The zip-safety scanner now checks for modules that might be used with
    python -m, and marks them as unsafe for zipping, since Python 2.4 can't
    handle -m on zipped modules.

0.5a11

  • Fix breakage of the "develop" command that was caused by the addition of
    --always-unzip to the easy_install command.

0.5a9

  • Include svn:externals directories in source distributions as well as
    normal subversion-controlled files and directories.
  • Added exclude=patternlist option to setuptools.find_packages()
  • Changed --tag-svn-revision to include an "r" in front of the revision number
    for better readability.
  • Added ability to build eggs without including source files (except for any
    scripts, of course), using the --exclude-source-files option to
    bdist_egg.
  • setup.py install now automatically detects when an "unmanaged" package
    or module is going to be on sys.path ahead of a package being installed,
    thereby preventing the newer version from being imported. If this occurs,
    a warning message is output to sys.stderr, but installation proceeds
    anyway. The warning message informs the user what files or directories
    need deleting, and advises them they can also use EasyInstall (with the
    --delete-conflicting option) to do it automatically.
  • The egg_info command now adds a top_level.txt file to the metadata
    directory that lists all top-level modules and packages in the distribution.
    This is used by the easy_install command to find possibly-conflicting
    "unmanaged" packages when installing the distribution.
  • Added zip_safe and namespace_packages arguments to setup().
    Added package analysis to determine zip-safety if the zip_safe flag
    is not given, and advise the author regarding what code might need changing.
  • Fixed the swapped -d and -b options of bdist_egg.

0.5a8

  • The "egg_info" command now always sets the distribution metadata to "safe"
    forms of the distribution name and version, so that distribution files will
    be generated with parseable names (i.e., ones that don't include '-' in the
    name or version). Also, this means that if you use the various --tag
    options of "egg_info", any distributions generated will use the tags in the
    version, not just egg distributions.
  • Added support for defining command aliases in distutils configuration files,
    under the "[aliases]" section. To prevent recursion and to allow aliases to
    call the command of the same name, a given alias can be expanded only once
    per command-line invocation. You can define new aliases with the "alias"
    command, either for the local, global, or per-user configuration.
  • Added "rotate" command to delete old distribution files, given a set of
    patterns to match and the number of files to keep. (Keeps the most
    recently-modified distribution files matching each pattern.)
  • Added "saveopts" command that saves all command-line options for the current
    invocation to the local, global, or per-user configuration file. Useful for
    setting defaults without having to hand-edit a configuration file.
  • Added a "setopt" command that sets a single option in a specified distutils
    configuration file.

0.5a7

  • Added "upload" support for egg and source distributions, including a bug
    fix for "upload" and a temporary workaround for lack of .egg support in
    PyPI.

0.5a6

  • Beefed up the "sdist" command so that if you don't have a MANIFEST.in, it
    will include all files under revision control (CVS or Subversion) in the
    current directory, and it will regenerate the list every time you create a
    source distribution, not just when you tell it to. This should make the
    default "do what you mean" more often than the distutils' default behavior
    did, while still retaining the old behavior in the presence of MANIFEST.in.
  • Fixed the "develop" command always updating .pth files, even if you
    specified -n or --dry-run.
  • Slightly changed the format of the generated version when you use
    --tag-build on the "egg_info" command, so that you can make tagged
    revisions compare lower than the version specified in setup.py (e.g. by
    using --tag-build=dev).

0.5a5

  • Added develop command to setuptools-based packages. This command
    installs an .egg-link pointing to the package's source directory, and
    script wrappers that execfile() the source versions of the package's
    scripts. This lets you put your development checkout(s) on sys.path without
    having to actually install them. (To uninstall the link, use
    use setup.py develop --uninstall.)
  • Added egg_info command to setuptools-based packages. This command
    just creates or updates the "projectname.egg-info" directory, without
    building an egg. (It's used by the bdist_egg, test, and develop
    commands.)
  • Enhanced the test command so that it doesn't install the package, but
    instead builds any C extensions in-place, updates the .egg-info
    metadata, adds the source directory to sys.path, and runs the tests
    directly on the source. This avoids an "unmanaged" installation of the
    package to site-packages or elsewhere.
  • Made easy_install a standard setuptools command, moving it from
    the easy_install module to setuptools.command.easy_install. Note
    that if you were importing or extending it, you must now change your imports
    accordingly. easy_install.py is still installed as a script, but not as
    a module.

0.5a4

  • Setup scripts using setuptools can now list their dependencies directly in
    the setup.py file, without having to manually create a depends.txt file.
    The install_requires and extras_require arguments to setup()
    are used to create a dependencies file automatically. If you are manually
    creating depends.txt right now, please switch to using these setup
    arguments as soon as practical, because depends.txt support will be
    removed in the 0.6 release cycle. For documentation on the new arguments,
    see the setuptools.dist.Distribution class.
  • Setup scripts using setuptools now always install using easy_install
    internally, for ease of uninstallation and upgrading.

0.5a1

  • Added support for "self-installation" bootstrapping. Packages can now
    include ez_setup.py in their source distribution, and add the following
    to their setup.py, in order to automatically bootstrap installation of
    setuptools as part of their setup process::

    from ez_setup import use_setuptools
    use_setuptools()

    from setuptools import setup
    etc...

0.4a2

  • Added ez_setup.py installer/bootstrap script to make initial setuptools
    installation easier, and to allow distributions using setuptools to avoid
    having to include setuptools in their source distribution.
  • All downloads are now managed by the PackageIndex class (which is now
    subclassable and replaceable), so that embedders can more easily override
    download logic, give download progress reports, etc. The class has also
    been moved to the new setuptools.package_index module.
  • The Installer class no longer handles downloading, manages a temporary
    directory, or tracks the zip_ok option. Downloading is now handled
    by PackageIndex, and Installer has become an easy_install
    command class based on setuptools.Command.
  • There is a new setuptools.sandbox.run_setup() API to invoke a setup
    script in a directory sandbox, and a new setuptools.archive_util module
    with an unpack_archive() API. These were split out of EasyInstall to
    allow reuse by other tools and applications.
  • setuptools.Command now supports reinitializing commands using keyword
    arguments to set/reset options. Also, Command subclasses can now set
    their command_consumes_arguments attribute to True in order to
    receive an args option containing the rest of the command line.

0.3a2

  • Added new options to bdist_egg to allow tagging the egg's version number
    with a subversion revision number, the current date, or an explicit tag
    value. Run setup.py bdist_egg --help to get more information.
  • Misc. bug fixes

0.3a1

  • Initial release.
