Description: ez_setup
        ========
        
        **Problem**: ``setup.py`` of several Python projects blindly import the
        setuptools bootstrap module ``ez_setup.py`` without realizing that it is usually
        not installed in the user's machine.
        `This causes much trouble <http://www.google.ca/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=%22ImportError:+No+module+named+ez_setup%22&qscrl=1>`_.
        
        **Workaround**: Include ``ez_setup.py`` (and ``distribute_setup.py``) as a
        installable Python package so users can do
        ``easy_install ez_setup troublesome_package`` as a workaround.
        
        **Note**: The ``ez_setup.py`` file being distributed is simply a copy of
        ``distribute_setup.py`` from the `Distribute`_
        project (a setuptools fork); this is
        to remain compatible with several Python distributors opting to use Distribute
        instead of Setuptools -- examples: Debian, ActiveState, and so on.
