3699	setup.py develop no longer works	moof@…	Adrian Holovaty	"There is a two-step way for installing the development version of an application on windows using setuptools:

1. Download the svn version of django using the svn client of your choice (svn, tortoisesvn)
1. Run {{{python setup.py develop}}} on the application. This correctly installs all scripts and links to the files.

Last time I installed django on windows this worked (about 6 months ago). I tried it again today and it doesn't, which means I have to do a bunch of really awkward manoeuvres, some of which are detailed on the install page, to get it to work with my setup. It seems that [3906] took it back to distutils, which I feel is a step backwards for everybody.

Any chance of having, at least, a conditional import of setuptools' own setup?"		closed	Tools	dev		wontfix	install		Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
