Many packages now depend only on python-pkg-resources and not python-setuptools, so the latter may be removed if it was automatically installed. However, in that case the whole mechanism stops working:
$ python
>>> import pkg_resources
>>> pkg_resources.require('zope.interface')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "pkg_resources.py", line 648, in require
needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
File "pkg_resources.py", line 546, in resolve
raise DistributionNotFound(req)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: distribute
This happens because zope.interface has setuptools in it's *.egg-info/requires.txt, like many other packages, but in reality only needs pkg_resources, and that's what is installed. Distribute is not needed at all, so it is a bug that this breaks in such a way.
As far as I can see this bug only occurs when require()'ing a python package using python-central. python-support using package is found successfully, e.g.
>>> pkg_resources.require('Genshi')
