Does that mean that python setup.py develop should be banned for numpy?
If so I consider it a setuptools issue: one more caveat to learn about
setuptools, ie the fact that setuptools develop is not reliable and can
lead to interested bugs without conplaining at all.

I am just frustated of loosing a significant amount of my time
discovering the behavior of the langage introduced by setuptools that
keeps popup all the time.
