import babel error in setup.py

 

Hi,

While trying to install 6.1 I get a  babel import error, because there is an 
import babel in the middle of the setup.py. This is not a good packaging 
practice because the setup.py file is expected to *define* dependencies, and not 
*use* dependencies.
   The best thing is to execute the minimal amount of code in setup.py. With 
distutil2 now there is no more executed code, juste a static setup.cfg file with 
a small domain specific language to handle complex requirements (windows, linux, 
32/64 bits, etc...).

Is this babel thing absolutely necessary?
