On further investigation, it looks like the simplest approach to doing this would actually treat easy_install and setup_requires= the same way as they treat pip, i.e., they would all be allowed. (I was misreading some particularly confusing code in setuptools.) It also looks like easy_installed packages can at least be safely upgraded, so I guess allowing this is okay :-). -n -- Nathaniel J.
