It says there:-

    Packages built and distributed using setuptools look to the user like
    ordinary Python packages based on the distutils. Your users don't need
    to install or even know about setuptools in order to use them, and you
    don't have to include the entire setuptools package in your
    distributions.


... well that wasn't my experience!  :-)



So I tried installing it according to the "EasyInstall Installation
Instructions" at "http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#installation-instructions"
but that didn't work either, on running ez_setup.py I got:-

    ImportError: No module named _md5


OK, it's fixable but, as a whole, I'm not overly impressed with
setuptools!

In fact on further searching this problem "No module named _md5" is
some awful python 2.5 and .so library problem, aarrgghh!!
