 Replying to [comment:18 zooko]:
 > Folks, instead of fixing it so that users don't expect automatic
 dependency-resolution from {{{python setup.py install}}}, we're going to
 fix it so that users get what they expect.

 +1. The only reason this ticket was filed was that I was under the
 impression that not installing dependencies was standard behaviour for
 ``setup.py install``, but apparently it's a regression in zetuptoolz.

 > That is the subject of ticket #1494.

 Indeed.

 > If you want to push forward some other issues, for example things like
 "disallow automatic download of dependencies", please find the ticket
 about that and add a comment on that ticket.

 That's ticket #1220.
