[ckan-dev] setuptools versions

[David Read]

Anyone else having problems with setuptools versions?

I've been running distribute 0.6.34 (the temporary fork of setuptools)
for years, but then get bitten by recent changes - the newer version
of repoze.who I think - see exception below. Anyway I solved it by
upgrading setuptools to the latest (24.2.1):

pip uninstall distribute
pip install -U setuptools

I wonder if I encountered this because I'm still on ubuntu 12.04 and
others are on 14.04, which comes with later setuptools?
