To clarify the above statement from Servilio: the setuptools_bzr 2.1 release on PyPI is itself affected by this, so this version cannot be installed. Full traceback here (with python2.4; python2.6 is similar):

ImportError: No module named ez_setup
This is strange, because by default setuptools already adds all .py files, even when no extra helpers like setuptools-bzr are installed. Ah, no, only Python source files implied by the py_modules and packages options are included, as mentioned in the docs: http://
This snippet in the setup.py of setuptools-bzr would fix that for the setuptools-bzr package itself, by only importing ez_setup when needed:
try:
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
except ImportError:
from ez_setup import use_setuptools
use_
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
It would seem that the setuptools-bzr release in PyPI should have included the ez_setup.py file though, as this file is included in the bzr code. Possibly the latest release has been made with a python version that erroneously did not have setuptools-bzr itself installed. I get an error on trunk btw, which might also have something to do with it, but I will open a separate ticket for that.
Note that in some packages I see a line in setup.py like this, which explicitly excludes ez_setup:
packages=
If things go wrong that might be an explanation as well, though it seems it has no effect because ez_setup is not included by default anyway: it is not a package or module.
BTW, as note for others: the not vcs dependent way of saying you want to include ez_setup.py in your source distribution would be to add a MANIFEST.in file with this line:
include ez_setup.py
