Sorry, there is some confusion, probably on my part. I was thinking of the ez_setup.py file, which suggests that you can run it to install it, or drop it in your distribution next to setup.py, either way would be sufficient. I though it would be a bad idea to have a setup.py and an ez_setup.py in the same directory. We would get people running ez_setup.py and then writing the lists asking why they cant import pylab.
