Is there a reason that PyNLO uses
from distutils.core import setup
rather than
from setuptools import setup
setuptools has the advantage that it allows the use of python setup.py develop
in order to allow the user to modify the source code and use it without needing to reinstall the package.

No, the default was simply because distutils is more standard. Setuptools seems to work easily, so the requested change has been made.
