Summary: ez_setup for setuptool

Initial Comment:
Not everybody has setuptools installed already, so PEAK advise setup.py should start like this:

import ez_setup
ez_setup.use_setuptools()

and of course you need to add a the file to the package: http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py

setuptools is automatically installed and that way nobody has to manually download it. Very nice :)

If you don't believe me then check it out yourself at:
