Answer 1

Fork the repo and add a working setup.py. Then send a pull request to the author.

Oh, it's on Google Code. Well then, file a bug and post a patch.

If the author refuses to make their code into an installable Python distribution (never happened to me), just host your fork somewhere and put that in your requirements file.
