Summary: Python modules depend on undocumented prereq

Initial Comment:
The python modules added in Net-SNMP 5.4 depend on the python setuptools module which \
are not (yet?) part of the standard python distribution.

If Net-SNMP is built with python modules enabled, but one doesn't have setuptools, \
the build process fails during the "make" step.

The people responsible for setuptools have a small module that can download and \
bootstrap setuptools, for python installs that don't already have it. You could \
include this module so that the dependency resolves itself, or you could document the \
dependency (and maybe include a configure test) so the dependency is discovered \
earlier.

The included patch includes the ez_setup module, to automatically download and fetch \
setuptools. It also adds mention of the setuptools dependency to the python/README.

The problem occurs in Net-SNMP 5.4. I've confirmed this problem on Suse 10.0 and \
Cygwin 1.5.21-2.

rm -rf /var/tmp/purepython

mkdir /var/tmp/purepython

wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5/Python-2.5.tgz

gunzip -c Python-2.5.tgz |tar xf -

cd Python-2.5

sh configure --prefix=/var/tmp/purepython/&& make && make install

cd ..

gunzip -c net-snmp-5.4.tar.gz |tar xvf -

cd net-snmp-5.4

PATH=/var/tmp/purepython/bin:$PATH

sh configure --with-python-modules

make
