Ah ha, I didn't know that was changed (in setuptools 0.6a11).
The problem was for packages like elementtree and python 2.4, when their
setup.py used distutils. So, that is not an issue since 0.6a11, great.
There is one minor problem which will only happen when we miss a
dependency. If a package has test_requires it will try to download and
install packages when we run setup.py test. For instance in rdflib it
will try to install nose.
It would be nice to be able to make it abort instead, but that's not a
big deal like install_requires pre-0.6a11
Thanks again,
Rob
