Your setup script imports docgen, which in turn runs the require().
Modules really shouldn't require() in this way.
I'm puzzled as to why explicitly asking for Kid >= 0.6.4 cares about
the TurboGears egg info... I had put this import in a try/except
DistributionNotFound to handle the initial install case, and I think
this used to work.
Is your suggestion that the module should just import kid?
I haven't tracked all of this discussion, but I think this is a related
issue:

Hmm... apparent I didn't follow up on PJE's response. I actually don't
remember seeing the response. Hmm... well, anyway, another data point.
