[PEAK] [Fwd: amd64]

[Phillip J. Eby]

The first sentence of http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools 
and http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/setuptools reads:

"""setuptools is a collection of enhancements to the Python distutils (for 
Python 2.3.5 and up on most platforms; 64-bit platforms require a minimum 
of Python 2.4) ..."""

Python 2.4 is required, due to a bug in Python 2.3.  At the least, you 
would have to backport the fix that appeared in 2.4, but if you're going to 
have to rebuild Python anyway, then you might as well use 2.4.
