I love this sentence and might use it in the future. :-)

Huh, I don't remember ever seeing that before. Presumably it pulls it off PyPI, 
where it's linked from the https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Flask/ page—search for 
"md5". I just tried python setup.py develop in a new virtualenv and wasn't able 
to reproduce your problem. If you're still having it, try installing everything 
with pip first, manually, before doing setup.py develop:

        pip install -r requirements.txt
        python setup.py develop

Maybe that will work better/differently. Let me know if you keep having 
trouble. I'm on IRC.

Cheers,
Erik
