Only because it would be simpler if it did the same thing in both cases
instead of doing different things. Why not?

I don't observe any misbehavior, but I haven't tried. I remember that
py2exe used to have problems packaging Nevow because the version number
that Nevow would generate during the packaging process would be
determined by importing nevow, which would get a different version of
nevow (from the sys.modules of the py2exe Python process) than the one
that was being built and packaged. Inspecting this patch (but not trying
it) I wonder if this code would have the same problem if used under
py2exe in the absence of setuptools.

Title:
  build Nevow without importing Nevow

Status in Divmod Nevow:
  New

Bug description:
  This looks like a good patch:

  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~divmod-dev/divmod.org/build-nevow-
  without-importing-2699/revision/2601

  But why do the execfile hack only when setuptools is present? Why not
  do that same thing in both cases?
