No because these are options you pass to easy_install only in your distutils.cfg file: [easy_install] foo=bar [bdist_rpm] baz=1 ... > Packages that do not use > setuptools will fail if you try to provide setuptools-specific > configuration: > > $ python setup.py install > running install > error: error in /Users/rkern/.pydistutils.cfg: command 'install' has no such > option 'single_version_externally_managed' You need to use [easy_install] in your .pydistutils.cfg, not [install]. The easy_install command is called internally by the install command in distribute/setuptools. Meaning that the options will be read and used transparently.
