+file in the same directory with it, and add this to the top of your setup.py::
+
+    from ez_setup import use_setuptools
+    use_setuptools()
+
+If you want to require a specific version of setuptools, set a download
+mirror, or use an alternate download directory, you can do so by supplying
+the appropriate options to ``use_setuptools()``.
+
+This file can also be run as a script to install or upgrade setuptools.
