From what I've seen your real complaints have all been with the
ez_setup behavior, and not setuptools itself.  It's ez_setup that
requires an internet connection so that it can bootstrap setuptools if
it's not already installed.  Setuptools only requires a connection if
you want to use the dependency feature.  So, from what I can tell your
problems should have been fixed with a 2-line change to remove
ez_setup from setup.py.  If you prefer to stick with distutils, that's
fine, but don't give up on setuptools just because of ez_setup.
