I don't think distutils can handle all these, especially the last one, so I doubt it's the right tool in your case. I would suggest SCons (http://www.scons.org/), a modern make/automake/autoconf replacement that uses python for its configuration files instead of yet another cryptic half-baked mini-language or XML.
