Only because it would be simpler if it did the same thing in both cases instead of doing different things. Why not?

I don't observe any misbehavior, but I haven't tried. I remember that py2exe used to have problems packaging Nevow because the version number that Nevow would generate during the packaging process would be determined by importing nevow, which would get a different version of nevow (from the sys.modules of the py2exe Python process) than the one that was being built and packaged. Inspecting this patch (but not trying it) I wonder if this code would have the same problem if used under py2exe in the absence of setuptools.
