But how can a "python setup.py install" know where to find this configuration file to add it's plugin?
It doesn't. The whole point of having two stages -- discovery and activation -- is that discovery is an automatic side-effect of installation, whereas activation can be controlled by an application-specific policy or configuration file.
Entry points (as currently implemented) are discovery; the application then determines which entry points to actually load or invoke, using its own configuration (or command-line options, or menu selections, or automatic policy, or whatever else).
