[Distutils] [issue40] development egg: recusion to deep when re-running setup.py develop

[htgoebel]

New submission from htgoebel <h.goebel at goebel-consult.de>:

I'm installing a development egg like this::
  PYTHONPATH=.:$PYTHONPATH python setup_.py develop --install-dir . --script-dir .

Now when re-running the command above, it will fail::
  File
"/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c8-py2.5.egg/pkg_resources.py",
line 1072, in safe_name
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/re.py", line 150, in sub
    return _compile(pattern, 0).sub(repl, string, count)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/re.py", line 230, in _compile
    p = _cache.get(cachekey)
  RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded in cmp


This seams to be a problem with *.egg-link. If I add these lines to teh fron tom
my setup.py, re-running is fine:

    import glob, os
    for fn in glob.glob('*.egg-link'):
        os.remove(fn)
