Grrrrr. I find "setup.py test" to be really annoying as it requires
meta data that is available only to that command.
Not after running 'egg_info', or any other setuptools-aware command;
the tests_require dependencies then become introspectable. E.g.:
$ svn co $ZSVN/zope.tal/trunk zope.tal-trunk
$ cd zope.tal-trunk
$ /path/to/setuptools-aware/python setup.py egg_info
$ cat src/zope.tal-egg-info/requires.txt
setuptools
zope.i18nmessageid
zope.interface
[test]
zope.testing
None of these is tests_require. The above lists the contents of
install_requires and the test extra. zope.tal is odd because it
lists the same values in tests_require and install requires. Try
putting something else in tests_require and see if you see it show up.
I know that the contents of tests_require isn't saved because I
*tried* to get buildout to use it and asked about it on the distutils
sig:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2007-January/
007083.html
Of course, something could have changed since then, but I doubt it.

Ideally, buildout (really the testrunner recipe) should be able to
honor tests_require, but setuptools doesn't make this information
available to any other packages. :( (big frowny) Also, I believe
that more is required to get "setup.py test" to work. I'm unsure
what the details are.
See above. If buildout can trigger creation of the egg-info
directory,
all should be well. In fact, that directory will already be
present in
any source distribution built with setuptools.
Again, I believe you are mistaken.
