Re: [Fab-user] Fabric 0.0.6

[Sergey Kirillov]

Hi Christian,

Password-less sudo and key-based authentication works fine

Can you add one minor improvement -- use setuptools instead of 
distutils. With setuptools I can execute 'sudo setup.py develop' on Git 
working copy and test new releases before installing them into 
/usr/lib/python.

Patch is trivial:
---
diff --git a/setup.py b/setup.py
index c89bf30..0dbceee 100644
--- a/setup.py
+++ b/setup.py
@@ -1,6 +1,6 @@
#!/usr/bin/env python

-from distutils.core import setup
+from setuptools import setup

setup(
    name = 'Fabric',

---
Best wishes,
Sergey
