Argh. Sorry, I just realized I was ignoring the part where you are using
"setup.py install" rather than easy_install. "setup.py install" doesn't
honor easy_install's options, because it's assumed that only people who
don't have/use easy_install will run "setup.py install". So, it's sort of
a chicken and egg thing here, as I had you edit options that somebody using
"setup.py install" wouldn't ordinarily be working with. This is arguably a
bug in setuptools, so I'll work on fixing it.
In the meantime, you should be able to just do:
python setup.py easy_install .
in order to do the installation, whether you use distutils.cfg or
~/.pydistutils.cfg.
Again, sorry about that, it's a problem with the setuptools "install"
command, which is just a wrapper around easy_install, but apparently isn't
loading its config file settings. I'll fix that as soon as I can.
I should probably also be recommending that authors using setuptools
recommend that their users refer to the EasyInstall documentation if they
are installing to custom locations.
