Yes it should. I've just released 0.6a7 to fix this. It was mostly a
problem in my release build process, which dynamically generated different
entry points for 2.3 and 2.4. Unfortunately, using dynamic entry points in
setuptools' own setup.py gets into some head-exploding circularities that
led to data files not being included in the 2.3 releases. I believe I've
fixed this now.
