well I just mentioned few times before (and J. P. Eby said something

Yes, and the fact is that without setuptools many other wonderful
(commands | libs | frameworks | apps | software) would be in the
darkness. I mention some of them :
- setuptools `test` command
- Trac
- PasteDeploy

implementation details in there ...

Besides you could use
{{{
$ easy_install -Z eggs_are_awesome.egg
}}}
and the package will be installed directly in the file system ( modify
.pth + PYTHONPATH if desired ;o).
