However, one major problem is that to modify the function of the
setup.py "build" and "develop" commands one needs to do this in the
setup.py:
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
from van.potomo import develop, build
setup(
name = "HelloWorld",
cmdclass = {'build': build,
'develop': develop},
setup_requires = ["van.potomo"],
version = "0.1",
packages = find_packages(),
)
Meaning that you have to manually install van.potomo before tools like
buildout can run the setup.py to figure out the dependencies. Is there
any way to make that more automatic, especially so that buildout can
have a chance?

there's a setuptools equivalent?
You can use aliases to do this, sort of. In your setup.cfg, do something like:
[aliases]
build = vp_build
develop = vp_develop
And then register these commands in the van.potomo package's entry
points (i.e., as vp_build and vp_develop).
Unfortunately, this only works for *command-line commands* - it's not
a general replacement for the commands, the way cmdclass is.
Probably a better solution would be to add the ability in setuptools
to specify a *string* in cmdclass, instead of a class, so that this
approach could work generally, instead of only on the command line.
