ez_setup not in requirements?

[broganross]

I'm doing an install from source with version 1.0.0 from Pypi onto a CentOS 6.5 machine using python 2.7.3, and when I try running setup.py install I get an ImportError for ez_setup. But ez_setup isn't in the requirements.txt.
That's all.

Thanks for the hint. Actually I don't know how this is supposed to be done in the python world, also I didn't write setup.py. Do you know that adding ez_setup (or setuptools) to requirement.txt would fix the issue ?
If so, that could easily be done I suppose. Thanks for your reply.

I'm honestly not sure. I think ez_setup might be an odd ball. Shortly after I ran into this I had to stop work on it. I'll have to check it out when I get minute

Thanks, I will also see if I can reproduce this on a Centos VM, maybe even on a freshly installed one.

So, I guess since this installs fine with pip that it isn't really an issue. Since that's what the requirements.txt is for. I was doing a weird case where I'm building everything from source instead of just using pip, and the requirements.txt is a nice starting point to find the dependencies.
