That's probably my vim settings doing something evil, i don't have a
special case for python, i'll fix it.

Fair enough.

That's for the trick to work, when python builds an egg (zip file) in
the build phase not only are we wasting time doing double decompression
later on the target but we are also finishing up the package (kind of a
mini-install phase) into the egg.
That makes the trick fail (probably solvable by doing --execute in the
build itself, didn't try since it's not the way IMHO).
I'll add a note since it's required for other python packages that do
use setuptools/distribution.
V2 when Thomas confirms it solves his issues with lava-test, did it for
me in my tests.
Regards.
