I contacted upstream and asked about the contribution I sent via Bitmessage earlier, I explained why using/providing python-setuptools might be of benefit for other developers too.
I no longer want to waste my time on fixing this. I wait for resolution of this now, and if I have to, I'll contribute the integration myself..again (only this time from github, as I signed up again just for issues reporting). Once it has been fixed I will pick up work again. In case anyone feels like fixing it in the meantime, you're welcome to do so. https://github.com/Bitmessage/PyBitmessage/issues/875 -- ♥Ⓐ ng0 For non-prism friendly talk find me on http://www.psyced.org SecuShare – http://secushare.org
