New issue 330: Integration with `setup.py test` should not require `virtualenv` to be installed https://bitbucket.org/hpk42/tox/issues/330/integration-with-setuppy-test-should-not
Peter Bittner: In my Python projects I want to separate the requirements only needed for testing cleanly from the actual project. The beautiful thing of tox is I can specify all those additional requirements in the tox configuration (tox.ini), and with the [integration in setup.py](http://testrun.org/tox/latest/example/basic.html#integration-with-setuptools-distribute-test-commands) it's possible to not even have tox installed to execute tests. Actually, this is the theory, because unfortunately, running tests with `python setup.py test` still requires one dependency to be installed beforehand: `virtualenv` ## Current Behavior ``` bash $ python setup.py test running test Searching for tox Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/tox/ Best match: tox 2.3.1 Downloading https://pypi.python.org/packages/46/39/e15a857fda1852da1485bc88ac4268dbcef037ab526e1ac21accf2a5c24c/tox-2.3.1.tar.gz#md5=9371b3d3e25c03751a0372e19602dfb9 Processing tox-2.3.1.tar.gz Writing /tmp/easy_install-2zqkvsk9/tox-2.3.1/setup.cfg Running tox-2.3.1/setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir /tmp/easy_install-2zqkvsk9/tox-2.3.1/egg-dist-tmp-f202aq90 ...

Is this a problem of tox, or and issue of setuptools? ## Expected Behavior After having set up tox with [setuptools integration](http://testrun.org/tox/latest/example/basic.html#integration-with-setuptools-distribute-test-commands) it should be possible to run `python setup.py test` to execute tests driven by tox without having had to install any requirements (such as `virtualenv` or `tox`) manually beforehand. ## References This problem is also documented in [issue #245](https://bitbucket.org/hpk42/tox/issues/245/can-not-install-sure-dependency-in-tox#comment-26884414).
