Something apt-get-like would be cool. Was there talk of having the python package index support something like this at some stage?
If I could simply do: py-get twisted
and have all of the dependencies resolved, it would be wonderful. as a prototype, I would suggest wrapping apt-get with a python envelope which automatically invokes apt-get with a python specific configuration file for .pydeb files as well as a private repository and database etc.. Since apt-get exists for almost every version of Linux and should be portable to other platforms, this distribution method should be relatively distribution portable.
One can also handle upgrades of the core image of Python and ancillary packages as well by leaving a breadcrumb file indicating which packaging system is native and the package currently installed. <<- idea needs work
yea? nay?
