stats plugin must be a prerequiste

[--]

When trying a manual build or bzr-gtk, bzrlib.plugins.stats break the build.

How to reproduce :
> cd ~/.bazaar/plugins
> bzr branch lp:bzr-gtk gtk
> cd btk
> python setup.py build

(my objective was maily to build the locale files)

Traceback :

ImportError: No module named stats.cmds

Software versions :
Python 2.6.2
Bazaar 2.1.0
bzr-gtk r700

How to solve :
- add a try except or the prerequiste in the setup.py file

Workaround
- install first and build bzr-stats plugin

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

the bzr-stats plugin is indeed a prerequisite if you want to install the plugin to the system at the moment (as opposed to running it from ~/.bazaar/plugins). We should probably document this a bit better, or allow installation without installing the stats.

What do you mean by adding a prerequisite to setup.py though? We don't use setuptools.

Ah yeah 'install-require' is a setuptools or distribute thing. Distutils have 'require' key word
but, as i know is not working well.

Documenting the 'stats' prerequiste may be enought.
