I can't explain it, but this is what happens. This is on Ubuntu Hardy
using python 2.5.2.
I see. I think it's because you're subclassing distutils.command.install
rather than setuptools.command.install for your install command.
Another idea is that you could also detect whether setuptools is
imported by doing something like "if 'setuptools' in sys.modules" and
then subclassing the appropriate install command based on that. Then you
wouldn't need to pass the --disable-single-version-externally-managed
argument at all.

Ok, a little guidance please. As I understand it if I import setuptools
into my app setup.py and I subclass my install from
setuptools.command.install, then I can also use the option
'--single-version-externally-managed' to make the install behave like
the distutils style install. Is that correct?
If this is true then what I would like to do is to force this option on
in the code. How can I do that? I know I can probably put it into
setup.cfg but I just think it would be better hardwired into the code.

Gerry
