I have created zope.app egg two weeks back

I have used setuptools.find_packages function, so setuptools is a

Should we need compatibility with distutils.core ?
I suspect it's fine ok for an egg-supporting setup.py to depend on
setuptools, though I'm wary of dependencies outside the Python
standard library and our own code for basics. Using zc.buildout
ensures setuptools is part of a buildout anyway, so I'll get over my
own little hangup pretty quickly.
Depending on a third-party egg is better than a vendor import
(assuming that
we don't need to customize it). We don't want to depend on anything
with a
viral license such as GPL.
