pip authors were warning for many years to not import pip. Finally at version 10 they restructured their code.

This broke many many packages that depend on bson.

Can't this package be renamed as suggested in #41, so it stops pretending to be what is not (the pymongo bson package?). If it really wants to be "Independent" as the description says, this should be a requirement.

Issues like #70 could be avoided.

Who on earth will need to have both packages named the same?

If the package is renamed, all this weird setup.py logic could be removed, and everybody will be happy.

I will solve this problem with #41 . Also welcome pr before my commit.

0.5.3 released

Shouldn't the package depend on pip?
I'm running the case with a gentoo that the setup.py fails cause... well, cant import anything from pip cause it's not installed.
