Has anyone already suggested something like "python -m setup install"? It would be rather similar and explicit, too.
Actually, I never came across that command line option and had no idea that it even existed. But this is normal, because I don't try to find out every command line possibility or even try to remember many past half a dozen.
Of course you wouldn't have to guess that, it would supersede "python setup.py" in the respective manuals.
When I run it, I even get something (which is interesting):
Not very. You had a setup.py in the current directory. The beauty of the "python -m setup" approach is that it will execute the setup.py in the current directory if present, or a stdlib-supplied one if not. Georg
