Originally reported by: RonnyPfannschmidt (Bitbucket: RonnyPfannschmidt, GitHub: RonnyPfannschmidt)

The setup_requires spec in setup.py should be saved to the package metadata for inspection without requiring network access.

Original comment by jaraco (Bitbucket: jaraco, GitHub: jaraco):

In Pull Request 119 and Pull Request 106, @richardipsum has contributed a patch to add the setup_requires specs to the metadata. However, due to #315 and #356, the feature was backed out. It seems that it will be impossible to add any new metadata features until setuptools earlier than 10.x is widely available.

If you can suggest a way to work around this upgrade problem, I'd like to release this functionality (and also free Setuptools from being unable to add features such as this one).

setup_requires is deprecated (#2823), replaced by PEP 518 build-system.requires. Also the blocking constraints above no longer apply.
