The boilerpate Baiju is wondering about replacement shows how to do non-setuptools "extensible" packages (quasi-namespaces). Declaring the dependency on setuptools is a bit silly, because only setuptools knows about dependencies: the only reason we declare it everywhere is to appease zc.buildout. I would leave the boilerplate alone, on the chance that it makes the package usable via straight distutils.
