-Description: ===============================
-        Installing and Using Distribute
-        ===============================
-        
-        .. contents:: **Table of Contents**
-        
-        -----------
-        Disclaimers
-        -----------
-        
-        About the fork
-        ==============
-        
-        `Distribute` is a fork of the `Setuptools` project.
-        
-        Distribute is intended to replace Setuptools as the standard method
-        for working with Python module distributions.
-        
-        The fork has two goals:
-        
-        - Providing a backward compatible version to replace Setuptools
-          and make all distributions that depend on Setuptools work as
-          before, but with less bugs and behaviorial issues.
-        
-          This work is done in the 0.6.x series.
-        
-          Starting with version 0.6.2, Distribute supports Python 3.
-          Installing and using distribute for Python 3 code works exactly
-          the same as for Python 2 code, but Distribute also helps you to support
-          Python 2 and Python 3 from the same source code by letting you run 2to3
-          on the code as a part of the build process, by setting the keyword parameter
-          ``use_2to3`` to True. See http://packages.python.org/distribute for more
-          information.
-        
-        - Refactoring the code, and releasing it in several distributions.
-          This work is being done in the 0.7.x series but not yet released.
-        
-        The roadmap is still evolving, and the page that is up-to-date is
-        located at : `http://packages.python.org/distribute/roadmap`.
-        
-        If you install `Distribute` and want to switch back for any reason to
-        `Setuptools`, get to the `Uninstallation instructions`_ section.
-        
-        More documentation
-        ==================
-        
-        You can get more information in the Sphinx-based documentation, located
-        at http://packages.python.org/distribute. This documentation includes the old
-        Setuptools documentation that is slowly replaced, and brand new content.
-        
-        About the installation process
-        ==============================
-        
-        The `Distribute` installer modifies your installation by de-activating an
-        existing installation of `Setuptools` in a bootstrap process. This process
-        has been tested in various installation schemes and contexts but in case of a
-        bug during this process your Python installation might be left in a broken
-        state. Since all modified files and directories are copied before the
-        installation starts, you will be able to get back to a normal state by reading
-        the instructions in the `Uninstallation instructions`_ section.
-        
-        In any case, it is recommended to save you `site-packages` directory before
-        you start the installation of `Distribute`.
-        
-        -------------------------
-        Installation Instructions
-        -------------------------
-        
-        Distribute is only released as a source distribution.
-        
-        It can be installed using pip, and can be done so with the source tarball,
-        or by using the ``distribute_setup.py`` script provided online.
-        
-        ``distribute_setup.py`` is the simplest and preferred way on all systems.
-        
-        distribute_setup.py
-        ===================
-        
-        Download
-        `distribute_setup.py <http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py>`_
-        and execute it, using the Python interpreter of your choice.
-        
-        If your shell has the ``curl`` program you can do::
-        
-            $ curl -O http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py
-            $ python distribute_setup.py
-        
-        Notice this file is also provided in the source release.
-        
-        pip
-        ===
-        
-        Run easy_install or pip::
-        
-            $ pip install distribute
-        
-        Source installation
-        ===================
-        
-        Download the source tarball, uncompress it, then run the install command::
-        
-            $ curl -O http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/distribute/distribute-0.6.34.tar.gz
-            $ tar -xzvf distribute-0.6.34.tar.gz
-            $ cd distribute-0.6.34
-            $ python setup.py install
-        
-        ---------------------------
-        Uninstallation Instructions
-        ---------------------------
-        
-        Like other distutils-based distributions, Distribute doesn't provide an
-        uninstaller yet. It's all done manually! We are all waiting for PEP 376
-        support in Python.
-        
-        Distribute is installed in three steps:
-        
-        1. it gets out of the way an existing installation of Setuptools
-        2. it installs a `fake` setuptools installation
-        3. it installs distribute
-        
-        Distribute can be removed like this:
-        
-        - remove the ``distribute*.egg`` file located in your site-packages directory
-        - remove the ``setuptools.pth`` file located in you site-packages directory
-        - remove the easy_install script located in you ``sys.prefix/bin`` directory
-        - remove the ``setuptools*.egg`` directory located in your site-packages directory,
-          if any.
-        
-        If you want to get back to setuptools:
-        
-        - reinstall setuptools using its instruction.
-        
-        Lastly:
-        
-        - remove the *.OLD.* directory located in your site-packages directory if any,
-          **once you have checked everything was working correctly again**.
-        
-        -------------------------
-        Quick help for developers
-        -------------------------
-        
-        To create an egg which is compatible with Distribute, use the same
-        practice as with Setuptools, e.g.::
-        
-            from setuptools import setup
-        
-            setup(...
-            )
-        
-        To use `pkg_resources` to access data files in the egg, you should
-        require the Setuptools distribution explicitly::
-        
-            from setuptools import setup
-        
-            setup(...
-                install_requires=['setuptools']
-            )
-        
-        Only if you need Distribute-specific functionality should you depend
-        on it explicitly. In this case, replace the Setuptools dependency::
-        
-            from setuptools import setup
-        
-            setup(...

-        Install FAQ
-        -----------
-        
-        - **Why is Distribute wrapping my Setuptools installation?**
-        
-           Since Distribute is a fork, and since it provides the same package
-           and modules, it renames the existing Setuptools egg and inserts a
-           new one which merely wraps the Distribute code. This way, full
-           backwards compatibility is kept for packages which rely on the
-           Setuptools modules.
-        
-           At the same time, packages can meet their dependency on Setuptools
-           without actually installing it (which would disable Distribute).
-        
-        - **How does Distribute interact with virtualenv?**
-        
-          Everytime you create a virtualenv it will install setuptools by default.
-          You either need to re-install Distribute in it right after or pass the
-          ``--distribute`` option when creating it.
-        
-          Once installed, your virtualenv will use Distribute transparently.
-        
-          Although, if you have Setuptools installed in your system-wide Python,
-          and if the virtualenv you are in was generated without the `--no-site-packages`
-          option, the Distribute installation will stop.
-        
-          You need in this case to build a virtualenv with the `--no-site-packages`
-          option or to install `Distribute` globally.
-        
-        - **How does Distribute interacts with zc.buildout?**
-        
-          You can use Distribute in your zc.buildout, with the --distribute option,
-          starting at zc.buildout 1.4.2::
-        
-          $ python bootstrap.py --distribute
-        
-          For previous zc.buildout versions, *the only thing* you need to do
-          is use the bootstrap at `http://python-distribute.org/bootstrap.py`.  Run
-          that bootstrap and ``bin/buildout`` (and all other buildout-generated
-          scripts) will transparently use distribute instead of setuptools.  You do
-          not need a specific buildout release.
-        
-          A shared eggs directory is no problem (since 0.6.6): the setuptools egg is
-          left in place unmodified.  So other buildouts that do not yet use the new
-          bootstrap continue to work just fine.  And there is no need to list
-          ``distribute`` somewhere in your eggs: using the bootstrap is enough.
-        
-          The source code for the bootstrap script is located at
-          `http://bitbucket.org/tarek/buildout-distribute`.

-        + `Issue #341`_: 0.6.33 fails to build under python 2.4
-        
-        ------
-        0.6.33
-        ------
-        
-        * Fix 2 errors with Jython 2.5.
-        * Fix 1 failure with Jython 2.5 and 2.7.
-        * Disable workaround for Jython scripts on Linux systems.
-        * `Issue #336`_: `setup.py` no longer masks failure exit code when tests fail.
-        * Fix issue in pkg_resources where try/except around a platform-dependent
-          import would trigger hook load failures on Mercurial. See pull request 32
-          for details.
-        * `Issue #341`_: Fix a ResourceWarning.
-        
-        ------
-        0.6.32
-        ------
-        
-        * Fix test suite with Python 2.6.
-        * Fix some DeprecationWarnings and ResourceWarnings.
-        * `Issue #335`_: Backed out `setup_requires` superceding installed requirements
-          until regression can be addressed.
-        
-        ------
-        0.6.31
-        ------
-        
-        * `Issue #303`_: Make sure the manifest only ever contains UTF-8 in Python 3.

-          Jython.
-        * Work around Jython bugs `#1980 <http://bugs.jython.org/`issue1980`_>`_ and
-          `#1981 <http://bugs.jython.org/`issue1981`_>`_.
-        * `Issue #334`_: Provide workaround for packages that reference `sys.__stdout__`
-          such as numpy does. This change should address
-          `virtualenv #359 <https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/359>`_ as long
-          as the system encoding is UTF-8 or the IO encoding is specified in the
-          environment, i.e.::
-        
-             PYTHONIOENCODING=utf8 pip install numpy
-        
-        * Fix for encoding issue when installing from Windows executable on Python 3.
-        * `Issue #323`_: Allow `setup_requires` requirements to supercede installed
-          requirements. Added some new keyword arguments to existing pkg_resources
-          methods. Also had to updated how __path__ is handled for namespace packages
-          to ensure that when a new egg distribution containing a namespace package is
-          placed on sys.path, the entries in __path__ are found in the same order they
-          would have been in had that egg been on the path when pkg_resources was
-          first imported.

-          to produce uploadable documentation.
-        * `Issue #326`_: `upload_docs` provided mangled auth credentials under Python 3.
-        * `Issue #320`_: Fix check for "createable" in distribute_setup.py.

-        * `Issue #283`_: Reenable scanning of `*.pyc` / `*.pyo` files on Python 3.3.
-        * `Issue #299`_: The develop command didn't work on Python 3, when using 2to3,
-          as the egg link would go to the Python 2 source. Linking to the 2to3'd code
-          in build/lib makes it work, although you will have to rebuild the module
-          before testing it.
-        * `Issue #306`_: Even if 2to3 is used, we build in-place under Python 2.

-        * `distribute_setup.py` now allows a `--download-base` argument for retrieving
-          distribute from a specified location.

-          in the standard "if name == 'main'"
-        * Added the 'DONT_PATCH_SETUPTOOLS' environment variable, so virtualenv
-          can drive an installation that doesn't patch a global setuptools.
-        * Reviewed unladen-swallow specific change from
-          http://code.google.com/p/unladen-swallow/source/detail?spec=svn875&r=719

-          wrong Python version
-        * `Issue 74`_: no_fake should be True by default.
-        * `Issue 72`_: avoid a bootstrapping issue with easy_install -U

+        Installing and Using Distribute

+        
+        About the fork
+        ==============
+        
+        `Distribute` is a fork of the `Setuptools` project.
+        
+        Distribute is intended to replace Setuptools as the standard method
+        for working with Python module distributions.
+        
+        The fork has two goals:
+        
+        - Providing a backward compatible version to replace Setuptools
+          and make all distributions that depend on Setuptools work as
+          before, but with less bugs and behaviorial issues.
+        
+          This work is done in the 0.6.x series.
+        
+          Starting with version 0.6.2, Distribute supports Python 3.
+          Installing and using distribute for Python 3 code works exactly
+          the same as for Python 2 code, but Distribute also helps you to support
+          Python 2 and Python 3 from the same source code by letting you run 2to3
+          on the code as a part of the build process, by setting the keyword parameter
+          ``use_2to3`` to True. See http://packages.python.org/distribute for more
+          information.
+        
+        - Refactoring the code, and releasing it in several distributions.
+          This work is being done in the 0.7.x series but not yet released.
+        
+        The roadmap is still evolving, and the page that is up-to-date is
+        located at : `http://packages.python.org/distribute/roadmap`.
+        
+        If you install `Distribute` and want to switch back for any reason to
+        `Setuptools`, get to the `Uninstallation instructions`_ section.
+        
+        More documentation
+        ==================
+        
+        You can get more information in the Sphinx-based documentation, located
+        at http://packages.python.org/distribute. This documentation includes the old
+        Setuptools documentation that is slowly replaced, and brand new content.

+        About the installation process
+        ==============================
+        
+        The `Distribute` installer modifies your installation by de-activating an
+        existing installation of `Setuptools` in a bootstrap process. This process
+        has been tested in various installation schemes and contexts but in case of a
+        bug during this process your Python installation might be left in a broken
+        state. Since all modified files and directories are copied before the
+        installation starts, you will be able to get back to a normal state by reading
+        the instructions in the `Uninstallation instructions`_ section.
+        
+        In any case, it is recommended to save you `site-packages` directory before
+        you start the installation of `Distribute`.
+        
+        -------------------------
+        Installation Instructions
+        -------------------------
+        
+        Distribute is only released as a source distribution.
+        
+        It can be installed using pip, and can be done so with the source tarball,
+        or by using the ``distribute_setup.py`` script provided online.
+        
+        ``distribute_setup.py`` is the simplest and preferred way on all systems.
+        
+        distribute_setup.py
+        ===================
+        
+        Download
+        `distribute_setup.py <http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py>`_
+        and execute it, using the Python interpreter of your choice.
+        
+        If your shell has the ``curl`` program you can do::
+        
+            $ curl -O http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py
+            $ python distribute_setup.py
+        
+        Notice this file is also provided in the source release.
+        
+        pip
+        ===
+        
+        Run easy_install or pip::
+        
+            $ pip install distribute
+        
+        Source installation
+        ===================
+        
+        Download the source tarball, uncompress it, then run the install command::
+        
+            $ curl -O http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/distribute/distribute-0.6.36.tar.gz
+            $ tar -xzvf distribute-0.6.36.tar.gz
+            $ cd distribute-0.6.36
+            $ python setup.py install
+        
+        ---------------------------
+        Uninstallation Instructions
+        ---------------------------
+        
+        Like other distutils-based distributions, Distribute doesn't provide an
+        uninstaller yet. It's all done manually! We are all waiting for PEP 376
+        support in Python.
+        
+        Distribute is installed in three steps:
+        
+        1. it gets out of the way an existing installation of Setuptools
+        2. it installs a `fake` setuptools installation
+        3. it installs distribute
+        
+        Distribute can be removed like this:
+        
+        - remove the ``distribute*.egg`` file located in your site-packages directory
+        - remove the ``setuptools.pth`` file located in you site-packages directory
+        - remove the easy_install script located in you ``sys.prefix/bin`` directory
+        - remove the ``setuptools*.egg`` directory located in your site-packages directory,
+          if any.
+        
+        If you want to get back to setuptools:
+        
+        - reinstall setuptools using its instruction.
+        
+        Lastly:
+        
+        - remove the *.OLD.* directory located in your site-packages directory if any,
+          **once you have checked everything was working correctly again**.
+        
+        -------------------------
+        Quick help for developers
+        -------------------------
+        
+        To create an egg which is compatible with Distribute, use the same
+        practice as with Setuptools, e.g.::
+        
+            from setuptools import setup
+        
+            setup(...
+            )
+        
+        To use `pkg_resources` to access data files in the egg, you should
+        require the Setuptools distribution explicitly::
+        
+            from setuptools import setup
+        
+            setup(...
+                install_requires=['setuptools']
+            )
+        
+        Only if you need Distribute-specific functionality should you depend
+        on it explicitly. In this case, replace the Setuptools dependency::
+        
+            from setuptools import setup
+        
+            setup(...
+                install_requires=['distribute']
+            )
+        
+        -----------
+        Install FAQ
+        -----------
+        
+        - **Why is Distribute wrapping my Setuptools installation?**
+        
+           Since Distribute is a fork, and since it provides the same package
+           and modules, it renames the existing Setuptools egg and inserts a
+           new one which merely wraps the Distribute code. This way, full
+           backwards compatibility is kept for packages which rely on the
+           Setuptools modules.
+        
+           At the same time, packages can meet their dependency on Setuptools
+           without actually installing it (which would disable Distribute).
+        
+        - **How does Distribute interact with virtualenv?**
+        
+          Everytime you create a virtualenv it will install setuptools by default.
+          You either need to re-install Distribute in it right after or pass the
+          ``--distribute`` option when creating it.
+        
+          Once installed, your virtualenv will use Distribute transparently.
+        
+          Although, if you have Setuptools installed in your system-wide Python,
+          and if the virtualenv you are in was generated without the `--no-site-packages`
+          option, the Distribute installation will stop.
+        
+          You need in this case to build a virtualenv with the `--no-site-packages`
+          option or to install `Distribute` globally.
+        
+        - **How does Distribute interacts with zc.buildout?**
+        
+          You can use Distribute in your zc.buildout, with the --distribute option,
+          starting at zc.buildout 1.4.2::
+        
+          $ python bootstrap.py --distribute
+        
+          For previous zc.buildout versions, *the only thing* you need to do
+          is use the bootstrap at `http://python-distribute.org/bootstrap.py`.  Run
+          that bootstrap and ``bin/buildout`` (and all other buildout-generated
+          scripts) will transparently use distribute instead of setuptools.  You do
+          not need a specific buildout release.
+        
+          A shared eggs directory is no problem (since 0.6.6): the setuptools egg is
+          left in place unmodified.  So other buildouts that do not yet use the new
+          bootstrap continue to work just fine.  And there is no need to list
+          ``distribute`` somewhere in your eggs: using the bootstrap is enough.
+        
+          The source code for the bootstrap script is located at
+          `http://bitbucket.org/tarek/buildout-distribute`.

+        0.6.36
+        ------
+        
+        * Pull Request #35: In `Buildout `issue 64`_
+          <https://github.com/buildout/buildout/issues/64>`_, it was reported that
+          under Python 3, installation of distutils scripts could attempt to copy
+          the ``__pycache__`` directory as a file, causing an error, apparently only
+          under Windows. Easy_install now skips all directories when processing
+          metadata scripts.
+        
+        ------
+        0.6.35
+        ------
+        
+        Note this release is backward-incompatible with distribute 0.6.23-0.6.34 in
+        how it parses version numbers.
+        
+        * `Issue #278`_: Restored compatibility with distribute 0.6.22 and setuptools
+          0.6. Updated the documentation to match more closely with the version
+          parsing as intended in setuptools 0.6.
+        
+        ------
+        0.6.34
+        ------
+        
+        * `Issue #341`_: 0.6.33 fails to build under Python 2.4.
+        
+        ------
+        0.6.33
+        ------
+        
+        * Fix 2 errors with Jython 2.5.
+        * Fix 1 failure with Jython 2.5 and 2.7.
+        * Disable workaround for Jython scripts on Linux systems.
+        * `Issue #336`_: `setup.py` no longer masks failure exit code when tests fail.
+        * Fix issue in pkg_resources where try/except around a platform-dependent
+          import would trigger hook load failures on Mercurial. See pull request 32
+          for details.
+        * `Issue #341`_: Fix a ResourceWarning.
+        
+        ------
+        0.6.32
+        ------
+        
+        * Fix test suite with Python 2.6.
+        * Fix some DeprecationWarnings and ResourceWarnings.
+        * `Issue #335`_: Backed out `setup_requires` superceding installed requirements
+          until regression can be addressed.
+        
+        ------
+        0.6.31
+        ------
+        
+        * `Issue #303`_: Make sure the manifest only ever contains UTF-8 in Python 3.
+        * `Issue #329`_: Properly close files created by tests for compatibility with
+          Jython.
+        * Work around Jython bugs `#1980 <http://bugs.jython.org/issue1980>`_ and
+          `#1981 <http://bugs.jython.org/issue1981>`_.
+        * `Issue #334`_: Provide workaround for packages that reference `sys.__stdout__`
+          such as numpy does. This change should address
+          `virtualenv #359 <https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/359>`_ as long
+          as the system encoding is UTF-8 or the IO encoding is specified in the
+          environment, i.e.::
+        
+             PYTHONIOENCODING=utf8 pip install numpy
+        
+        * Fix for encoding issue when installing from Windows executable on Python 3.
+        * `Issue #323`_: Allow `setup_requires` requirements to supercede installed
+          requirements. Added some new keyword arguments to existing pkg_resources
+          methods. Also had to updated how __path__ is handled for namespace packages
+          to ensure that when a new egg distribution containing a namespace package is
+          placed on sys.path, the entries in __path__ are found in the same order they
+          would have been in had that egg been on the path when pkg_resources was
+          first imported.

+        ------
+        0.6.30
+        ------
+        
+        * `Issue #328`_: Clean up temporary directories in distribute_setup.py.
+        * Fix fatal bug in distribute_setup.py.
+        
+        ------
+        0.6.29
+        ------
+        
+        * Pull Request #14: Honor file permissions in zip files.
+        * `Issue #327`_: Merged pull request #24 to fix a dependency problem with pip.
+        * Merged pull request #23 to fix https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/301.
+        * If Sphinx is installed, the `upload_docs` command now runs `build_sphinx`
+          to produce uploadable documentation.
+        * `Issue #326`_: `upload_docs` provided mangled auth credentials under Python 3.
+        * `Issue #320`_: Fix check for "createable" in distribute_setup.py.
+        * `Issue #305`_: Remove a warning that was triggered during normal operations.
+        * `Issue #311`_: Print metadata in UTF-8 independent of platform.
+        * `Issue #303`_: Read manifest file with UTF-8 encoding under Python 3.
+        * `Issue #301`_: Allow to run tests of namespace packages when using 2to3.
+        * `Issue #304`_: Prevent import loop in site.py under Python 3.3.
+        * `Issue #283`_: Reenable scanning of `*.pyc` / `*.pyo` files on Python 3.3.
+        * `Issue #299`_: The develop command didn't work on Python 3, when using 2to3,
+          as the egg link would go to the Python 2 source. Linking to the 2to3'd code
+          in build/lib makes it work, although you will have to rebuild the module
+          before testing it.
+        * `Issue #306`_: Even if 2to3 is used, we build in-place under Python 2.
+        * `Issue #307`_: Prints the full path when .svn/entries is broken.
+        * `Issue #313`_: Support for sdist subcommands (Python 2.7)
+        * `Issue #314`_: test_local_index() would fail an OS X.
+        * `Issue #310`_: Non-ascii characters in a namespace __init__.py causes errors.
+        * `Issue #218`_: Improved documentation on behavior of `package_data` and
+          `include_package_data`. Files indicated by `package_data` are now included
+          in the manifest.
+        * `distribute_setup.py` now allows a `--download-base` argument for retrieving
+          distribute from a specified location.

+        -----
+        0.6.9

+          "setup.cfg" if any exists in the working directory. It will use it

+        
+        * `Issue 58`_: Added --user support to the develop command
+        * `Issue 11`_: Generated scripts now wrap their call to the script entry point
+          in the standard "if name == 'main'"
+        * Added the 'DONT_PATCH_SETUPTOOLS' environment variable, so virtualenv
+          can drive an installation that doesn't patch a global setuptools.
+        * Reviewed unladen-swallow specific change from
+          http://code.google.com/p/unladen-swallow/source/detail?spec=svn875&r=719

+          httplib.HTTPException instead of just InvalidURL and BadStatusLine.

+          to point to the actively maintained virtualenv instead.
+        * `Issue 64`_: use_setuptools no longer rebuilds the distribute egg every
+          time it is run
+        * use_setuptools now properly respects the requested version
+        * use_setuptools will no longer try to import a distribute egg for the
+          wrong Python version
+        * `Issue 74`_: no_fake should be True by default.
+        * `Issue 72`_: avoid a bootstrapping issue with easy_install -U
+        
+        -----

+          distribute.
+        
+        * When run from within buildout, no attempt is made to modify an existing
+          setuptools egg, whether in a shared egg directory or a system setuptools.
+        
+        * Fixed a hole in sandboxing allowing builtin file to write outside of
+          the sandbox.
