Unfortunately [c]ElementTree et al will be a persistent issue until either setuptools becomes part of Core, or the maintainers of the Python packages in Core are convinced to include additional information within the package (which may or may not be egg information). If you look at how I did it in TurboGears you see that I commented out the packages in setup.py that don't provide egg/package information, but this certainly isn't something we want to do long-term.
Yea, I think it'd be good to figure out a way to fake the egg information in the main python package. Mihai, do you have any thoughts in this area?
