Notabug. setuptools itself is extensible by means of entry points. Both entry points in your example (as cited by Marius) demonstrate that: one adds support for a new keyword argument to 'setup()'[1], and the other defines a new "writer" for 'egg-info'[2]. By design, both of those are supposed to be loaded / available for any invocation of 'setup()' in a Python where the are installed (not merely for packages which "mention" them).
