Hello

On behalf of the Distribute team, I am very proud to announce the
release of Distribute 0.6.2.

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute/0.6.2

This release is the first release that is compatible with Python 3,
kudos to Martin von Löwis, Lennart Regebro and
Alex Grönholm and the ones I am missing, on this work ! (see the
contributors.txt file)

The next 0.6.3 release will focus on eliminating the remaining
Setuptools bugs, while we are actively
working on a full refactoring in the 0.7 series.

If you have any comment, feedback or if you want to contribute, please
drop a line in distutils-sig@python.org,
or in our bug tracker (http://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issues)
