The setup.py of numpy looks big and complicated: 
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/blob/master/setup.py

I guess there are even more complicated setup.py files.

Do you think it will be possible in the future to make setup.py conditionless (no "if", 
no "else", no function calls)?

I mean that the setuptools/distutils/whatever libraries will handle all needed 
conditions?

This would mean setup.py would be a pure data structure which could be encoded 
in json or yaml.

What do you think?
