Re: [Fab-user] Fabric 0.0.6

[Rob Cowie]

The setup.py file can bootstrap an install of setuptools by including  
the following two lines and bundle ez_setup.py with your package

from ez_setup import use_setuptools
use_setuptools()

Not ideal if you subscribe to the view that installing libraries on a  
user machine without permission or warning is reprehensible, but it  
works.

For a useful overview of setuptools, see
