I don't have the answer for this, but I can tell you that I myself dislike the auto-download behavior and I wish it worked differently. I've given up on setuptools/easy-install altogether. It is most annoying to end up with half a dozen unexpected packages. The default behavior should be to pop a question with a list of packages that will be downloaded (and have a flag that bypasses this). And of course being able to turn off this feature from setup.py. i. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
