Yes, but not in 0.6. And you could always install pip as well.
Although nowadays you don't have to, because Distribute installs both.

That's neither easy_install, nor pip, it's Distribute/setuptools that
handles that. It basically runs python setup.py install on the
dependencies. I'm not sure why it wouldn't be able to have numpy as a
dependency,

What exactly is the errors you get?
