Hmm I might just remove the install_requires from setup.py
That seems at first glance redundant with distro packaging.

Not sure if install_requires will help, client binary (in all nova/glance/keystone/quantum clients) is actually generated by setuptools and uses pkg_resources.load_entry_point

Let's just add setuptools as a runtime dependency in all clients, I'll clone this to other OpenStack *client components.
