The only thing I'd need would be way to reliably determine if I'm dealing with setuptools-based setup.py or not. I can always call "python setup.py installl --help" and look if --single-version-externally-managed is present in the output. Is there a cleaner version of doing this?
You could ensure that you always have a setuptools-based setup.py:
python -c "import setuptools; execfile('setup.py')" install --single-version-.....
Tried it. It works great! Wouldn't have thought of that... Thanks! Christian
