So you're basically saying that having to python parts that use setuptools isn't supported? I can't see how using a stage: keyword will use, since easy-install.pth needs to contain both eggs, so you can't just pick one of them, you need to merge them.

I'm reopening this bug, since it's still a bug. If it's not supported, could you at least document it? Or is there a way to use the stage: keyword to get this to work?

FWIW, one solution to the problem would be to have the python plugin accept multiple paths, which all would use the same python installation. That way you would have python do the merging for you. Or maybe introduce a new option which can point to another python plugin to install things into?
