Package: pep8
Version: 0.5.0-1
Severity: normal

Hello

After reading the documentation and source for pep8, I think that the
fix for this bug is slightly wrong. The setuptools module (one part of
the SetupTools project) is required at build time, not run time; the
module that pep8 actually needs is pkg_resources (it provides runtime
support for SetupTools plugins). The bug is fixed because
python-setuptools depends on python-pkg-resources (upstream packages
them in one distribution, Debian split them some time ago to make a
smaller dependency and (my guess) avoid installing the dangerous
easy_install command).

Summary: s/python-setuptools/python-pkg-resources/ will still work and
take less space.

Thank you for considering this.
