BTW, That makes me wonder how hard it would be to make it use a plain "python setup.py install" call instead, to remove the easy_install dependency ? Since it could simply loop into each dependency
Some packages use setuptools and some don't. Since setuptools changes the behavior of the install command to install .eggs, those packages need extra flags to use pip's preferred flat installs. Using easy_install (with the right flags) yields consistent behavior for all packages.
