[SciPy-dev] Scikits, installation of setuptools required ?

[David Cournapeau]

Hi,

    I was trying to test my package converted for scikits on windows. I 
never use windows, so I install the bare minimum to test my python 
packages, which does not contain setuptools. One the point of setuptools 
was to be able to boostrap itself anyway from what I understood.
    This works ok, up to the point where when I want to run it, I have a 
failure because pkg_resources is not found (in the scikits/__init__.py). 
Does that mean that we cannot use the bootstraping capability of 
setuptools, and we require setuptools to be installed ? Or did I do 
something wrong ?
