The next thing I would do is verify that the config file is actually being read, by setting the DISTUTILS_DEBUG environment variable to "yes", and then running "easy_install -v ." and observing the output.
I've pasted the output here: http://pastebin.com/1it5XPAL
Hopefully you can make sense of the output.
Yep. The issue isn't with installation-time dependencies, it's build-time dependencies -- that's why I was confused. There was a change to how build-time dependencies are handled, specifically intended to fix a different issue with Paste, PasteScript, and PasteDeploy's dependencies on each other. My guess is that if you put eggs for those three packages in your third-party directory, the problem (or at least the problem with those three) would go away. However, I'll see if there's a way for "child" easy_install runs (as used for build-time dependencies) to inherit the parent's settings for things like --find-links, --index-url, and --allow-hosts (but not options that would interfere with the child install's options.
