But wouldn't this require all end users to know the incantation?
Well, those who want the man pages, certainly. ;-)
Presumably I could add the following to the top of setup.py:
sys.args += ['--single-version-externally-managed', '--record=somefile']
But that seems sort of dirty. :)
It also won't do anything if they're installing via another tool such
as pip, easy_install, buildout, etc.
