2. forbid the use of __file__ in setup.py. This breaks on systems which do not have setuptools installed globally but rely on a (zc.buildout-created) wrapper script. __file__ will point to the wrapper script in those instances, which breaks setup.py.
This will break many setup.py scripts that use __file__ to integrate README.txt and such for publication on pypi. I think that's a useful feature we cannot just drop, so hopefully there's another solution. Regards, Martijn
