 Replying to [comment:5 zooko]:
 > http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue57 # develop doesn't create .pth
 files and site.py if --multi-version

 which got closed with the following comment:
 > Behavior is as intended.  More precisely, it is an intended feature of
 {{{--multi-version}}} that it does not require {{{.pth}}} or {{{site.py}}}
 support in the target
 directory.

 Can someone translate this to English for those unfamiliar with the
 vagaries of Python package management? Is this just more of the same
 "setuptools is broken-by-design" that seems to be causing so many other
 problems?
