No. :)
Currently, you could:
- Create the source distro. (Note that I always use sparkling clean
Pythons, so the command you give doesn't work for me as setuptools
isn't importable. I always use: bin/buildout setup . sdist
Why you cannot install setuptools ?
It's not that I cannot. I *will* not.
I like my Python to be shiny sparkly clean. My Python is what I get
after running configure, make, make-install. Period. My site-
packages is empty. IMO, this is the only sane way to develop.
Also, I get very very very cranky when someone wastes my time with a
problem that is ultimately traced to crap installed in their Python
that isn't part of a standard install. Very cranky. I'm feeling
cranky just thinking about it. :)
