[Doadin]

with setuptools later then 18.8(reported by other packages see links going from 19.2 to 19.3+)

Please do not change the milestone, certainly not to not applicable.

There is no point in reporting this issue since it has no bearing on us.

[Doadin]

I was just aiming for a few things

1. Make it known that this is a issue for anyone that might run into it.
2. Present it as a issue here so that a solution could maybe be made.

If you look into the infomation provided in the link i believe someone has posted a workaround for providing compatibility with newer versions maybe something we might want to consider since any new user might run into this(or someone simply installing a fresh system).

[Calum]

What is the workaround? If it does not involve Deluge code then I'm afraid it is irrelevant here.

[Doadin]

I believe somethig like ​this could be adapted maybe

[Doadin]

at the very least maybe change the wiki to pip install setuptools==18.8?

[Calum]

Ah so this is an issue in packaging with bbfreeze script, then it has become our problem as bbfreeze is unmaintained now...

[Calum]

Fixed in develop: [6971e08b0] and 1.3-stable: [1a11e085b27]
