You have two ways to install python modules: - the traditional distutils - the eggs-powered setuptools > Does this refer to the "upstream" of the package which depends, or the > packages upon which it depends, or both? The latter. A module that uses "eggs" to load another module is certainly egg-ready itself. However if the dependency isn't egg-ready, then the package expecting an egg of its dependency will be broken unless we add the egg support to its dependency. > What would need to be done upstream for this criterion to change? Switch from distutils to setuptools as shown with the example patch.
