Sorry, still not sure I follow you... Are you saying that any packages specified in setup_requires and test_requires will be installed in the path of the package that specified them rather than the same location as all other eggs?

If so, that would seem to be a bug, no?

Nope, a feature. Packages needed -only- for packaging (setup_requires) and testing (test_requires) should not be generally installed. They are installed in a special place for use just during those particular phases of operation. No need to have them around in production. -Jeff
