This is a really frustrating aspect of setuptools, that pure-Python packages produce version-specific installers. I'm sure I've seen an explanation of why this is necessary somewhere before, but I can't recall precisely where (and I don't really have time to wade through all the setuptools documentation to see if it's in there - it wasn't obvious from reading the contents). Can anyone give me a quick pointer to the explanation?
