Comment (by zooko):

 dstufft: thank you for your comment! In my opinion, an important thing
 going on here is just that Daira has strong negative emotions about
 setuptools. I don't want to push her to keep working on debugging and
 tweaking setuptools-based tools. On the other hand, I don't want to rip
 out all the setuptools stuff and replace it, either! So the ideal path
 forward in my opinion is either that we all pretend to ignore the problem
 and work on other things, or that someone other than Daira takes
 responsibility for diagnosing and fixing packaging-related issues.

 Also Brian is pretty much in the same boat as Daira in hating and
 resenting a lot of setuptools-related issues. (In my opinion. Not to put
 words in their mouths!)

 Actually I'm not too keen on spending ''my'' time debugging that stuff
 either. ;-)

 So, if someone (like dstufft!) wants to help us with our packaging, that
 would be greatly appreciated.
