Hi, 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

Good to know. Is the same true for pip? Interestingly I did get a conflict when I tried to use pip to install distribute

Very much more diplomatic than how I would have put it! Charlie -- Charlie Clark Managing Director Clark Consulting & Research German Office Helmholtzstr. 20 Düsseldorf D- 40215 Tel: +49-211-600-3657 Mobile: +49-178-782-6226
