Part of setuptools (on which easy_install is built) is already part of the soon-to-be-released Python 2.5. But most of it is not. More of it will be in 2.6, once setuptools 0.7 is done (though I'm not sure if *all* of it even then, if that's inappropriate). Certainly isn't stopping people from using it, of course: a lot of work has gone into making easy_install work smoothly with as many existing projects as feasible (which is quite a good percentage of the projects out there). This is a good way to see what's going on: http://www.pythonware.com/daily/ John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
