Description

Affected configurations

• python setuptools (<= 0.7b4) • python setuptools 0.6.40 • python setuptools 0.6.41 • python setuptools 0.6.42 • python setuptools 0.6.43 • python setuptools 0.6.44 • python setuptools 0.6.45 • python setuptools 0.6.46 • python setuptools 0.6.47 • python setuptools 0.6.48 • python setuptools 0.6.49
