But I don't see any practical difference with including setuptools and including a module that installs setuptools. Would you be happy with the standard library including a module whose sole function was to install a package that you weren't happy to include directly in the standard library?

Actually it's quite different -- the user or administrator is in control and they can choose not to install setuptools. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
