install_requires is processed at install time. At that time, clearly, setuptools/distribute is present. That's not necessarily the case at run time. I see no reason to expect that having setuptools or distribute on sys.path at install time would cause it to necessarily be on the path at run time if my package doesn't provide information that it's needed at run time. > I'll say it again: it seems pointless specifying a requirement that has to > be met before any requirement specifications can even be processed... It doesn't sound to me like you've used buildout nearly as much as easy install. -Fred -- Fred L.
