Now you should be able to run everything and as a kinda-egg (e.g. metadata and scripts are available). Of course, there's not much value in using setuptools at all at this point. :)
Yep. Of course, I already had a running py lib, I was just turning some parts used by my project into eggs.
I think the best path for getting the py lib to work with easy_install would be to just fix up their distutils setup and build a normal tar.gz source distributions. We can worry about porting the code to use pkg_resources at a later time. They've chosen to employ some interesting techniques for distribution, however, so I'm not sure how bad the problem is.
That's true... At least py lib is pure python, so you can easy_install it without having to have a functional C compiler. I'll give this a whirl on another day... Kevin
