[pygame] Should setuptools be used by setup.py? (and a bdist_mpkg_support Mac question)
A setuptools bug that prevented compilation when Pyrex is installed has
been fixed. Now I am considering enabling setuptools by default for all
builds. This will allow the building of eggs. It also means that the
setup.py install command installs an egg rather than a normal packaged
directory. Is this a good idea? I have not seeing problems with my
Windows builds. If setuptools in not present then setup.py will just use
vanilla distutils. But I see that the loading of setuptools is
conditional on bdist_mpkg_support. So I wish to confirm this dependency
for the Mac. Does setuptools require bdist_mpkg, or is bdist_mpkg only
dependent on setuptools?
