I came up with this workaround:
from setuptools.command.install import install
class SubprocessEasyInstall(install):
def run(self):
install.run(self)
args = [sys.executable, "-m", "easy_install"] + setup_requires
check_call(args)
And in the setup() call, ensure you include:
cmdclass=dict(install=SubprocessEasyInstall)
This will easy_install the setup_requires in a separate process which is
unpolluted by the distributions already downloaded during setup.
