Eric Evans commented on AVRO-136:
---------------------------------
bq. Also, your comment in README.txt is slightly incorrect: the Python
implementation can be built and installed without setuptools but cannot be
packaged for distribution as an egg without it.
Right. I don't know if the plan is to distribute the Avro python library as an
egg or not, but that would only make it a hard requirement for the person
generating the release artifacts. Personally, I prefer _not_ to install eggs
since it complicates viewing the source and renders pydoc unusable.
