In setuptools 0.6c8 has a bug in bdist_wininst:

Distribution files are listed twice
``distribution.dist_files``. This hinders developing tools which use
this data. In addition ``upload`` will upload the file twice to pypi.

I need this bug fixed for automated upload of files using
<http://origo-submit.origo.ethz.ch>;.

Enclosed please find a simple package to show the bug. Just run

   python setup.py bdist_wininst

this shows one entry. Now run

   python setup-setuptools.py bdist_wininst

this shows two entires.

The only difference between both setup files is wherefrom setup() is
imported.

Is that a bug in setuptools? If so, don't report it here - setuptools is
a separate project, not part of the core Python (bdist_wininst is part
of distutils).

Yes. I've coincidently found the setptools bugtracker today and filed a
bug-report there.

Please Close.
