This bug affects me, too. It is inaccurate to claim to be "pure python" and to require any additional form of binary installation, whether that be in C, D, Eiffel, Fortran, Go, Haskell, or any other compiled (or uncompiled, for that matter) language other than Python. These are, by definition and structure, different languages than Python.
It wastes the time of anyone who requires an *actual* pure python installation, whether that be because they need to use easy_install, or because compiling binaries on a given system has been forbidden, either physically, with jailshell, or by terms of service.
Please, either fix this so this *is* pure Python, or stop claiming that it is.
