It looks like Edin made setuptools required in svn, which I just
reverted. Edin -- why? I'm a fan of setuptools, but I don't think we
should require a prerequisite that isn't necessary. Of course, if the
developers decide we want to require setuptools, I'm happy to support
the change, but it should probably have some kind of consensus.
Edin, if you want to use setuptools for your own installations, you can
do, from the command line
python -c "import setuptools; execfile('setup.py')" install
In fact, I have the attached script in my path, so I just type "ssetup
install" to use setuptools to install stuff. This also works with devel
mode. The script sets a few more things to handle assumptions that
setup.py files sometimes make.
