-------------------------------

             Summary: OODT's "Agility" component relies on local Python to have setuptools and ships with outdated "distribute"
                 Key: OODT-799
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-799
             Project: OODT
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: agility
    Affects Versions: 0.7, 0.8
         Environment: Any Python with only distutils
            Reporter: Sean Kelly
             Fix For: 0.9


The "setup.py" was written ages ago back when I wasn't too clear on Python packaging. And worse, it has a distribute_setup.py, which was merged back in with setuptools over a year ago.

As a result, only those users with a properly configured Python can actually run the Agility unit tests.

We can do better:
# Use ez_setup instead of distribute_setup
# Ensure setuptools gets imported correctly in setup.py
