Hi All, Now we have 'setuptools' as a dependency for all packages. (I guess this is to make Buildout happy ?)
No, it is because setuptools is needed for namespace packages.
The boilerpate Baiju is wondering about replacement shows how to do non-setuptools "extensible" packages (quasi-namespaces). Declaring the dependency on setuptools is a bit silly, because only setuptools knows about dependencies: the only reason we declare it everywhere is to appease zc.buildout. I would leave the boilerplate alone, on the chance that it makes the package usable via straight distutils.
