Perhaps we could add a config option later on to not install idle and 
smtpd.py.

easy_install and easy_install-2.7 shouldn't be in there apparently. It's 
part of setuptools package.
I've submitted a V2 patch so it only fixes idle and smtpd.py in python 
package. The V2 patch is independant of this setuptools interpreter 
directive issue.

I will see if I can look into fixing the interpreter for the setuptools 
package.
