As Mark already mentionned, svn's 'vendor branches' are only meaningfull when you do have to maintain a customized version of the third-party libs. For 'ordinary' dependencies, you can use eggs or just explicitly states the dependencies in the README or INSTALL doc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
