Sorry, I don't understand the question. What do you mean by "default dependency" and to what are you proposing it be inserted? :) What I meant was that we could include an easy_install.py whose sole function is to ensure that setuptools is installed and then invoke the "real" easy_install. Thus, the first time you ran easy_install, a current version would be downloaded, and thereafter the real one would be runnable. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
