Andreas, could you please send us your Python modules that fail because of setuptools ? I think these packages require setuptools instead of distutils (which comes with Python), so we'll probably have to package setuptools. Both are quite similar, so the "python-build-system" can probably be used anyway. Otherwise, we'll have to write a build system per tool (distutils/distutils2/setuptools/bento). Cyril.
