Comment (by ken@…):
That might be [https://pypi.python.org/pypi/packaging] - Python is like
perl: individual developers have their own ideas about how it is easiest
to proceed, and the dependencies multiply.
The difference between Python and perl is that perl usually tells you
(warnings in the first step, or failures in the build) which package it
now needs (search at search.cpan.org), whereas Python can be somewhat
obscure (names often either get a lot of matches, or none). And then there
may be subsequent deps : no objection to moving this to 8.1, the version
of setuptools which we have was working a week ago.
