Hi Steve, Thanks for your superfast answer.

Then perhaps consider to completely remove/deprecate the route via environment variable? Because there are tons of workarounds & manuals out there which actually point towards using the environment variable. Or fix it. > I suggest ensuring that setuptools is up to date So the setuptools included in the newest anaconda is not new enough? > , and either import it in the setup.py (you don't have to do anything > except import it) or use pip to install your packages. Not sure I understand. I have been installing mc-stan.org - via 'conda install -c patricksnape pystan'. It worked only after (solving other problems, and) patching your distutils.
