Given MediaGoblin's focus on free culture, etc., it would be really cool if it had some support for uploading source files alongside "finished" media. For example, 3D model source, an archive of a video project, etc.

It seems to me that probably this makes sense as basically additional file(s) associated with one "upload" but I haven't really thought through the design that much.

Hello,

Encountered this problem while installing mediaglobin 0.9.0 on a Debian Jessie Server, Python 2.7.9, Apache2. Followed the official deploying guide ( ​http://mediagoblin.readthedocs.io/en/stable/siteadmin/deploying.html ). Problems occurs during the "./bootstrap.sh && ./configure && make" step, more precisely during the "make", even more precisely during the "./bin/python setup.py develop --upgrade" step of the make (last command being the only way to reproduce the bug after initial make) ...

Here's a snippet of the error :

I tried to update setuptools (installing and) using pip. But it has no real effect ... Instead of searching and matching version 33.1.1 of setuptools it goes for the version 35.0.2. But that's about it, the error remains the same.
