The problem with doing that currently is that distutils complains when it
receives an option that it doesn't recognize.
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.
The --single-version-externally-managed and --record options are only on the
install command, not the easy_install command.
$ cat ~/.pydistutils.cfg
[easy_install]
single-version-externally-managed=True
record=/dev/null
$ python setup.py install
running install
error: error in /Users/rkern/.pydistutils.cfg: command 'easy_install' has no
such option 'single_version_externally_managed'
Please show me a configuration that you have tested.
