Bug Description
The problem is that Nevow imports nevow._version in setup.py which imports twisted. In the setuptools world Nevow should put "twisted" in setup_requires, but setup_requires doesn't actually work with pip because the first thing pip does on downloading is run setup.py egg_info which doesn't work if Twisted is not installed...

This is harder than I thought, because setup.py imports nevow and nevow/__init__.py imports nevow/_version.py which imports twisted. python. versions and pip doesn't seem to support setup_requires.
versiontools has a way of doing this sort of thing that doesn't require setup_requires: http:// versiontools. readthedocs. org/en/ latest/ usage.html -- maybe Nevow could use that or something similar?
