My not wanting to run "python setup.py ..." in a pipe has more than just persnickity wishes for elegance behind it. (a) I would have to write setup.py somewhere, with all the usual annoyances connected with creating a temporary file; not serious but annoying. (b) I don't know WHICH python will get run by the above statement. In particular I might not get the one interpreting me now; again, solvable but annoyingly so. In my case this would be a VERY bad error, as I would install something into the wrong Python.
