[Distutils] sandbox trying to run things before they're installed...again?

[Ben Bangert]

I think I had this problem earlier, and it went away, but now its  
back for some reason. Several users have reported it to me as well.  
Apparently the sandbox testing runs, and tries to import a package  
that wasn't installed yet. Is there anyway to make it actually  
install dependencies *before* doing its sandbox stuff?

Thanks,
Ben
