ez_setup
Problem: Many Python projects' setup.py blindly imports the
setuptools bootstrap module ez_setup.py without realizing that it
is usually not installed in the user's machine.
This causes much trouble.
Workaround: Include ez_setup.py (and distribute_setup.py) as an
installable Python package so users can run
easy_install ez_setup troublesome_package as a workaround.
Note: The ez_setup.py file being distributed is simply a copy of
ez_setup.py from the Setuptools project; Setuptools is now the
canonical 'installation extension project' to Python's distutils,
as Distribute was merged back into it in 2013.
