Hi,

I'm not sure where's the best place to ask so I thought I'd try it
here.  I've got python2.3 and python2.4 installed on my machine and
I'm trying to upgrade setuptools for both versions of python. So I've
got no problems upgrading setuptools for python2.3 but when I try to
do the same for python2.4, I get :
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "easy_install", line 7, in ?
    sys.exit(
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6a5-py2.4.egg/pkg_resources.py",
line 236, in load_entry_point
    return get_distribution(dist).load_entry_point(group, name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6a5-py2.4.egg/pkg_resources.py",
line 229, in get_distribution
    if isinstance(dist,Requirement): dist = get_provider(dist)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6a5-py2.4.egg/pkg_resources.py",
line 115, in get_provider
    return working_set.find(moduleOrReq) or require(str(moduleOrReq))[0]
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6a5-py2.4.egg/pkg_resources.py",
line 382, in find
    raise VersionConflict(dist,req)     # XXX add more info
pkg_resources.VersionConflict: (setuptools 0.6a5
(/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6a5-py2.4.egg),
Requirement.parse('setuptools==0.6a9'))

and I'm not sure what's the best way to fix it. Suggestions please!

Thanks,
Shuying
