I just fetched the master branch, and when I try to run "python
setup.py install" I get:

error: package directory 'IPython/frontend/tests' does not exist

IPython/frontend contains only an empty __init__.py, but setupbase.py
is still doing:

    add_package(packages, 'frontend', tests=True)
    # Don't include the cocoa frontend for now as it is not stable
    if sys.platform == 'darwin' and False:
        add_package(packages, 'frontend.cocoa', tests=True, others=['plugin'])
        add_package(packages, 'frontend.cocoa.examples')
        add_package(packages, 'frontend.cocoa.examples.IPython1Sandbox')
        add_package(packages, 'frontend.cocoa.examples.IPython1Sandbox.English.$
    add_package(packages, 'frontend.process')
    add_package(packages, 'frontend.wx')

Cheers,
