Mitter 0.3.1.1 “You’re entering a big error, Flynn.” released

without comments

For everyone who in the 30 minutes between this post and the previous one downloaded Mitter, please download the new version.

This morning, while packaging Mitter, I found a problem with Setuptools (which is used by easy_install) and had to manually patch it. In the flurry to fix it and make a packaged, I forgot to check the results and looks like Setuptools decided to leave a lot of files out of the package (such files as source code [constants.py] and later the icon image.)

Each passing day, Setuptools manages to let me down even more. I’m very close to not accepting any issue if the user used easy_install/setuptools to install Mitter. The constant headache of using it is not worth the features it provides.
