Hi<br>
<br>
Using Distribute in my setup.py, how do I best ensure that pkg_resources gets installed along with my package? I've tried 'install_requires=["setuptools>=0.6"]' as an argument to setup(), but setuptools didn't get installed.<br>

I don't know about Distribute, but it should definitely get installed if you're using setuptools. Under what installation scenario(s) did setuptools *not* get installed?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Basically, my project bundles Distribute through distribute_setup.py, so Distribute doesn't need to be preinstalled.
