Comment(by dustin):

 Hmm,
 {{{
 $ easy_install Twisted_Core
 # or
 $ easy_install 'Twisted_Core >= 2.0.0'
 }}}
 fail badly with setuptools (big 'ol traceback), and less badly with
 Distribute:
 {{{
 install_dir /home/dustin/tmp/sandbox/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/
 Searching for Twisted-Core>=2.0.0
 Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/Twisted_Core/
 Reading http://twistedmatrix.com/
 No local packages or download links found for Twisted-Core>=2.0.0
 error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse
 ('Twisted-Core>=2.0.0')
 }}}

 so I'm not sure that this change won't just break other dependencies.

 How did Python end up with such a fantastically crappy distribution
 system?  Or, set of distribution systems?
