[Distutils] Python module for use in ‘setup.py’ but not to install

Ben,

I appreciate the difficulty of trying to get sdists to work the way you want -- I'm in much the same boat myself.

However, I feel that requiring a dependency simply for the installation of the main package (the main package doesn't
actually use this install-dependency, correct?) is heavy-handed and should be avoided.

Or have I misunderstood?
