setup.py

[daler]

setup.py should require argparse and easy_install it if needed

and not require cython to install, e.g.:

http://docs.cython.org/src/userguide/source_files_and_compilation.html#distributing-cython-modules

not sure if we should also go to setuptools instead of distutils or not

[daler]

I couldn't get setuptools to work with c++ files. It might be possible with a hack to setuptools.Extension, but probably not worth it for now. Also, I couldn't get distutils to recognize the requires kwarg to setup() and therefore automatically get argparse.

Oh well. I think the most straightforward thing to do at this point is keep everything as-is and just be clear in the documentation what the requirements are.
