<p>There have a been changes in setup.py since 5.6 not specifically related to pip. Sooner or later using the old version will probably stop working. <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/15731459/14420" rel="nofollow">Pip solves a lot of problems</a>, are you sure you can't use it? If there are specific reasons you can't, re-open this issue and we can explore what might be done. I'll need information and feedback though as I don't know about building distribution packages.</p>
