JCC linux patch

2012-09-30 Thread Caleb Burns 
Hi,

The current method to build JCC on Linux requires patching the setuptools
package. Would you be interested in a patch to JCC that monkey-patches the
setuptools Library and Extension classes to avoid the manual patch. It
works with setuptools-0.6c7-11 and distribute-0.6.1+ without the need of
manually patching setuptools. If this is not the proper place to propose a
fix, please let me know.

Thanks,
Caleb Burns

That would be great !
Could you please make your monkey patch detect the version of 
setuptools/distribute used and issue the same the same error message as is 
currently emitted by the JCC linux setup.py code when the version is not 
supported by your monkey patch, ie, when manual patching is still needed.

Thanks !
