I'm about to migrate my first Zope to project to buildout. Does it matter whether I use setuptools or distribute? And is there any preference for one over the other?
Preference comes down to personal choice right now. For most of the basic operations both distribute and setuptools are equivalent. Plone has adopted distribute starting with Plone 4 in favor of setuptools, as we believe an open-community project is much more viable and better maintained over time compared to a one-man project. But if you are more conservative, you might want to stick with setuptools. Hanno
