[Distutils] [issue141] Setuptools looks for dependencies even when installed

[fonnesbeck]

New submission from fonnesbeck <fonnesbeck at gmail.com>:

When installing a package using setuptools, the installer looks for and tries to install dependencies even when they are already satisfied. For example, a package that requires scipy (no version requirement specified) looks for a version online even though I have a very current version already installed:


Processing dependencies for mcex==0.1
Searching for scipy
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/scipy/
Reading http://www.scipy.org
Reading http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=27747&package_id=19531
Reading http://new.scipy.org/Wiki/Download
Best match: scipy 0.10.1
