Please note that you need to add Marius' patches [1] to make this work

As I wrote in my follow-up correction, I implemented a different
strategy: pip and setuptools are now installed as part of python2, like
it is the default in Python 3.

It should work both ways. I'll rebase and cleanup my by patch set later,
anyway, so we can verify then.
