        About the fork
20
        ==============
21
        
22
        `Distribute` is a fork of the `Setuptools` project.
23
        
24
        Distribute is intended to replace Setuptools as the standard method
25
        for working with Python module distributions.
26
        
27
        The fork has two goals:
28
        
29
        - Providing a backward compatible version to replace Setuptools
30
          and make all distributions that depend on Setuptools work as
31
          before, but with less bugs and behaviorial issues.
32
        
33
          This work is done in the 0.6.x series.
34
        
35
          Starting with version 0.6.2, Distribute supports Python 3.
36
          Installing and using distribute for Python 3 code works exactly
37
          the same as for Python 2 code, but Distribute also helps you to support
38
          Python 2 and Python 3 from the same source code by letting you run 2to3
39
          on the code as a part of the build process, by setting the keyword parameter
40
          ``use_2to3`` to True. See http://packages.python.org/distribute for more
41
          information.
42
        
43
        - Refactoring the code, and releasing it in several distributions.
44
          This work is being done in the 0.7.x series but not yet released.
45
        
46
        The roadmap is still evolving, and the page that is up-to-date is
47
        located at : `http://packages.python.org/distribute/roadmap`.
48
        
49
        If you install `Distribute` and want to switch back for any reason to
50
        `Setuptools`, get to the `Uninstallation instructions`_ section.
51
        
52
        More documentation
53
        ==================
54
        
55
        You can get more information in the Sphinx-based documentation, located
56
        at http://packages.python.org/distribute. This documentation includes the old
57
        Setuptools documentation that is slowly replaced, and brand new content.
58
        
59
        About the installation process
60
        ==============================
61
        
62
        The `Distribute` installer modifies your installation by de-activating an
63
        existing installation of `Setuptools` in a bootstrap process. This process
64
        has been tested in various installation schemes and contexts but in case of a
65
        bug during this process your Python installation might be left in a broken
66
        state. Since all modified files and directories are copied before the
67
        installation starts, you will be able to get back to a normal state by reading
68
        the instructions in the `Uninstallation instructions`_ section.
69
        
70
        In any case, it is recommended to save you `site-packages` directory before
71
        you start the installation of `Distribute`.

        Installation Instructions
75
        -------------------------
76
        
77
        Distribute is only released as a source distribution.
78
        
79
        It can be installed using pip, and can be done so with the source tarball,
80
        or by using the ``distribute_setup.py`` script provided online.
81
        
82
        ``distribute_setup.py`` is the simplest and preferred way on all systems.
83
        
84
        distribute_setup.py
85
        ===================
86
        
87
        Download
88
        `distribute_setup.py <http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py>`_
89
        and execute it, using the Python interpreter of your choice.
90
        
91
        If your shell has the ``curl`` program you can do::
92
        
93
            $ curl -O http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py
94
            $ python distribute_setup.py
95
        
96
        Notice this file is also provided in the source release.
97
        
98
        pip
99
        ===
100
        
101
        Run easy_install or pip::
102
        
103
            $ pip install distribute
104
        
105
        Source installation
106
        ===================
107
        
108
        Download the source tarball, uncompress it, then run the install command::
109
        
110
            $ curl -O http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/distribute/distribute-0.6.19.tar.gz
111
            $ tar -xzvf distribute-0.6.19.tar.gz
112
            $ cd distribute-0.6.19
113
            $ python setup.py install

        Uninstallation Instructions
117
        ---------------------------
118
        
119
        Like other distutils-based distributions, Distribute doesn't provide an
120
        uninstaller yet. It's all done manually! We are all waiting for PEP 376
121
        support in Python.
122
        
123
        Distribute is installed in three steps:
124
        
125
        1. it gets out of the way an existing installation of Setuptools
126
        2. it installs a `fake` setuptools installation
127
        3. it installs distribute
128
        
129
        Distribute can be removed like this:
130
        
131
        - remove the ``distribute*.egg`` file located in your site-packages directory
132
        - remove the ``setuptools.pth`` file located in you site-packages directory
133
        - remove the easy_install script located in you ``sys.prefix/bin`` directory
134
        - remove the ``setuptools*.egg`` directory located in your site-packages directory,
135
          if any.
136
        
137
        If you want to get back to setuptools:
138
        
139
        - reinstall setuptools using its instruction.
140
        
141
        Lastly:
142
        
143
        - remove the *.OLD.* directory located in your site-packages directory if any,
144
          **once you have checked everything was working correctly again**.
145

147
        Quick help for developers
148
        -------------------------
149
        
150
        To create an egg which is compatible with Distribute, use the same
151
        practice as with Setuptools, e.g.::
152
        
153
            from setuptools import setup
154
        
155
            setup(...
156
            )
157
        
158
        To use `pkg_resources` to access data files in the egg, you should
159
        require the Setuptools distribution explicitly::
160
        
161
            from setuptools import setup
162
        
163
            setup(...
164
                install_requires=['setuptools']
165
            )
166
        
167
        Only if you need Distribute-specific functionality should you depend
168
        on it explicitly. In this case, replace the Setuptools dependency::
169
        
170
            from setuptools import setup
171
        
172
            setup(...
173
                install_requires=['distribute']
174
            )

        Install FAQ
178
        -----------
179
        
180
        - **Why is Distribute wrapping my Setuptools installation?**
181
        
182
           Since Distribute is a fork, and since it provides the same package
183
           and modules, it renames the existing Setuptools egg and inserts a
184
           new one which merely wraps the Distribute code. This way, full
185
           backwards compatibility is kept for packages which rely on the
186
           Setuptools modules.
187
        
188
           At the same time, packages can meet their dependency on Setuptools
189
           without actually installing it (which would disable Distribute).
190
        
191
        - **How does Distribute interact with virtualenv?**
192
        
193
          Everytime you create a virtualenv it will install setuptools by default.
194
          You either need to re-install Distribute in it right after or pass the
195
          ``--distribute`` option when creating it.
196
        
197
          Once installed, your virtualenv will use Distribute transparently.
198
        
199
          Although, if you have Setuptools installed in your system-wide Python,
200
          and if the virtualenv you are in was generated without the `--no-site-packages`
201
          option, the Distribute installation will stop.
202
        
203
          You need in this case to build a virtualenv with the `--no-site-packages`
204
          option or to install `Distribute` globally.
205
        
206
        - **How does Distribute interacts with zc.buildout?**
207
        
208
          You can use Distribute in your zc.buildout, with the --distribute option,
209
          starting at zc.buildout 1.4.2::
210
        
211
          $ python bootstrap.py --distribute
212
        
213
          For previous zc.buildout versions, *the only thing* you need to do
214
          is use the bootstrap at `http://python-distribute.org/bootstrap.py`.  Run
215
          that bootstrap and ``bin/buildout`` (and all other buildout-generated
216
          scripts) will transparently use distribute instead of setuptools.  You do
217
          not need a specific buildout release.
218
        
219
          A shared eggs directory is no problem (since 0.6.6): the setuptools egg is
220
          left in place unmodified.  So other buildouts that do not yet use the new
221
          bootstrap continue to work just fine.  And there is no need to list
222
          ``distribute`` somewhere in your eggs: using the bootstrap is enough.
223
        
224
          The source code for the bootstrap script is located at
225
          `http://bitbucket.org/tarek/buildout-distribute`.

        * Issue 104: remvoved the assertion when the installation fails,
358
          with a nicer message for the end user.
359

360
          the setup script patches setuptools.

        * Issue 58: Added --user support to the develop command
374
        * Issue 11: Generated scripts now wrap their call to the script entry point
375
          in the standard "if name == 'main'"
376
        * Added the 'DONT_PATCH_SETUPTOOLS' environment variable, so virtualenv
377
          can drive an installation that doesn't patch a global setuptools.
378
        * Reviewed unladen-swallow specific change from

          Unladen Swallow 2009Q3.
382
        * Issue 21: Allow PackageIndex.open_url to gracefully handle all cases of a

          httplib.HTTPException instead of just InvalidURL and BadStatusLine.
384
        * Removed virtual-python.py from this distribution and updated documentation
385
          to point to the actively maintained virtualenv instead.
386
        * Issue 64: use_setuptools no longer rebuilds the distribute egg every
387
          time it is run
388
        * use_setuptools now properly respects the requested version
389
        * use_setuptools will no longer try to import a distribute egg for the
390
          wrong Python version
391
        * Issue 74: no_fake should be True by default.

409
        
410
        * Distribute no longer shadows setuptools if we require a 0.7-series
411
          setuptools.  And an error is raised when installing a 0.7 setuptools with
412
          distribute.
413
        
414
        * When run from within buildout, no attempt is made to modify an existing
