Sorry for the delay,

No problem.

  Is it possible to just have 'setup.py bdist_egg' do the right thing without
the new setupegg.py?

It may be difficult. Avoiding the setupegg.py is no issue, but then it
forces you to use setuptools in setup.py, which you may not want. A
lot of things are changed, like how the sdist is generated from the
VCS - I personally find this very annoying (this exact behavior can be
bypassed through hacks, though). You would also need to check that all
your distutils commands work correctly with setuptools.

But if you prefer everything in setup.py despite those shortcomings, I
can prepare a patch without setupegg.py

I'd be happy with something as hacky as:

if 'bdist_egg' in sys.args:
    import setuptools
    ...

but if this really does lead to more mess than it is worth, I'll accept it with the new file.

Cheers,

Mark
