1 Distribute Support

     2 ==================

     3 

     4 Distribute is a drop-in replacement for Setuptools.

     5 

     6 zc.buildout is now compatible with Distribute 0.6. To use Distribute in your

     7 buildout, you need use the ``--distribute`` option of the ``bootstrap.py``

     8 script::

     9 

    10     $ python bootstrap.py --distribute

    11 

    12 This will download and install the latest Distribute 0.6 release in the

    13 ``eggs`` directory, and use this version for the scripts that are created

    14 in ``bin``.

    15 

    16 Notice that if you have a shared eggs directory, a buildout that uses 

    17 Distribute will not interfer with other buildouts that are based on Setuptools

    18 and that are sharing the same eggs directory.
