I doubt that. And I get the feeling that you did not read anything 
belonging to setuptools I pointed you to.

I just did this:

As you can see, ONE simple setuptools-command sufficed to install durus, 
as unzipped egg so that you can see every single source file.


I don't know what durus is, how to use it and I don't care about it, so 
I can't comment on your actual problems with durus itself.
