[Distutils] question about setuptools

[Elvelind Grandin]

I dont know if this is the right place to ask but I know i'v read a
couple of mails on the list about setuptools so I will give it a try.

I seem to have a problem with setuptools. I install all packages with
--home=~ (using
.pydistutils.cfg) . this means I need to use require to import a egg,
which is fine. But I cant import pkg_resources.require since it is
installed in ~ and needs to be required itself.
cheers
