Comment #23 on issue 66 by techtonik: cannot install using easy_install
http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/issues/detail?id=66

Running `python -m easy_install protobuf` yields the following error:
Downloading http://protobuf.googlecode.com/files/protobuf-2.3.0.zip
Processing protobuf-2.3.0.zip
error: Couldn't find a setup script in c:\temp\easy_install-fcgk7g\protobuf-2.3.0.zip


Running `python -m easy_install http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/protobuf/protobuf-2.3.0.tar.gz` stops with:

  File "setup.py", line 7, in <module>
    try:
  ImportError: No module named ez_setup


This one is strange, because I have setuptools installed. The patch at http://codereview.appspot.com/1692047 the latter issue, but the installation still fails with::

Can't find required file: ../src/google/protobuf/descriptor.proto


It seems like this issue can be fixed by including required file on `sdist` building phase inside `protobuf` checkout, and by altering meta-information so that easy_install will prefer PyPI package version or will not search Google Code site at all.
