[16:42:17] <natefoo> hey all. should new setuptools versions still be compatible with distribute 0.6?

[16:43:39] <natefoo> i'm trying to install some modules that use a bundled distribute_setup.py to install setuptools to create eggs, and they fail with NameError: name 'sys_platform' is not defined

[16:44:19] <natefoo> which, it turns out, happens even when you try to build distribute 0.6.49 itself with setuptools of some version installed... haven't figured out which setuptools versions seem to conflict yet though.

[17:03:19] <ronny> natefoo: best practice is to patch distribute out and optionally send up a pull request to the project

[18:34:08] <natefoo> ronny: ok, thanks.

[18:34:33] <ronny> natefoo: but out of curiosity, in what file does that error happen?

[18:36:11] <natefoo> File "/build/distribute-0.6.49/_markerlib/markers.py", line 109, in marker_fn

[18:36:11] <natefoo> return eval(compiled_marker, environment)

[18:36:11] <natefoo> File "<environment marker>", line 1, in <module>

[18:36:12] <natefoo> NameError: name 'sys_platform' is not defined

[18:38:04] <ronny> natefoo: which project is it? becaue that marker usage seems strange

[18:46:49] <natefoo> that's simply trying to setup.py build distribute 0.6.49
