Is the distribute project still alive? The reason I ask is that my recent experience is that bugs reported in setuptools are fixed very quickly, while there is no response from the distribute team.
It does look as though development velocity on 'distribute' has slowed to a pace quite comparable to setuptools, with setuptools having the more recent release. The two trackers are at: http://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issues?status=open&status=new&kind=bug... http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/ The bitbucket UI doesn't show recency of issue activity, which would make the two easier to compare. I'm -1 on preferring 'distribute' in any overt way in the ZTK. Folks who want it can already use it when bootstrapping a buildout:: $ /path/to/python bootstrap.py --distribute or when creating a virtualenv:: $ /path/to/virtualenv --no-site-packages --distribute envdir The ZTK should not grow any creeping dependencies on 'distribute'.
