python install_requires dependency issue #4

Closed weston-nrl closed 6 years ago

weston-nrl commented 6 years ago

The line "install_requires = ['setuptools']," in src/python/setup.py.in and src/toolkit/python/setup.py is causing the apt-get installed setuptools to be reinstalled by setuptools on my system, which causes conflicts with my upgraded pip installation.

There is already a line saying 'from setuptools import ….' at the top of these files, so it seems unnecessary (if setuptools is missing, it should cause an exception before it even gets to parsing this line). If the line is removed, I no longer have this issue. Alternatively, a way to separate the python installation process from the rest of the 'make install' installation process would be helpful, so that I could install the python bits using pip.
