It seems that the Python build system > is including this build dependency by default, so I've omitted it. Actually, contextlib2 only requires the built-in distutils to build, which might be why steuptools is not actually necessary. That might be why the build succeeded in spite of not having setuptools in the dependency closure. Thank you, Chris
