The only question is, given that 2.6.x is supposed to be a bug-fix branch, do we want to fix that incompatibility with a widely deployed existing piece of software? Whether or not the incompatibility is legitimate (i.e., whether setuptools is badly written and relies on implementation details) is beyond the point, IMO. Right. As discussed with Barry, I will work on an internal special case in Distutils in the 2.6 maint. branch so it fixes the incompatibility with the Setuptools 0.6c9 release.
You could add a selective work-around that just triggers if setuptools has been loaded on the 2.6 branch.
if sys.modules.has_key('setuptools'):
monkey-patch fix-up setuptools to work with the new code
...
or the other way around:
if sys.modules.has_key('setuptools'):
undo r1234 to make setuptools 0.6c9 happy again
