Howto install distribute for Python 3

I am trying to install distribute using ActivePython 3.1.2 on Windows.

Running python distribute_setup.py as described on the cheese shop give me:

No setuptools distribution found

running install

Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'file'

Something went wrong during the installation.

See the error message above.

Is there possibly an unknown dependency that I'm missing?

Downloading the source tarball and executing python setup.py install produces the exact same output.

Edit: Added the full stack trace for running the installer.

So apparently the python.org version of Python3 is different from the ActiveState version of Python3. (You should file a bug to someone (I'm not sure to whom))

The fix I have (I'm not sure of all the repercussions)

Download:

http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/distribute/distribute-0.6.12.tar.gz#md5=5a52e961f8d8799d243fe8220f9d760e

and then extracting it and modify: distribute-0.6.12\setuptools\sandbox.py:165 from:

except ImportError:

to

except (ImportError, AttributeError):

that will silence the error and allow you to run:

python setup.py install

It took me awhile to find a package from http://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=browse&c=533&show=all that would actually install on either version of Python3. "files" was the first package, and since it installed I am pretty sure that easy_install is working for both copies of Python3.

...hope it works! (That's all I can help you with)

this is a bug with Distribute http://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/151 ... it should be fixed by next release (0.6.13). It is only reproducible with PyWin32 installed; and ActivePython comes bundled with PyWin32.
