Maybe this gets you a bit further:
import os
from setuptools.sandbox import run_setup
package = os.path.join(os.curdir, 'zope.component')
os.chdir(package)
run_setup('setup.py', ['--long-description'])
os.chdir(os.pardir)
The run_setup call seems to dump the output to sys.stdout which might
be a bit painful to grab.
