Okay, then before you call setup() in your setup script, create an instance of setuptools.dist.Distribution() that has setup_requires set, but doesn't include any packages; and don't do anything besides create it. Then, run your package generation, and finally run setup(). You do not need a custom Distribution subclass, as far as I can tell. The only disadvantage to doing it this way is that if somebody does "setup.py --help", your package is still going to do dependency downloads and code generation. But then, that also happens the way you're doing it now. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
