Once upon a time there was

"Source Python Distribution (SPD) is a Python distribution and many
optional (mainly scientific) packages. Everything fully builds from
source on any platform (any linux, Mac OS X, clusters and soon
windows).

It is based on Sage, but the standard download has only 60MB (and
builds in less than 10 minutes) and then you only install packages
that you really need (or you can just download the 2MB bare SPD
package and install things yourself).

The aim of SPD is to make it easy for anyone to create all in one
distributions with just the packages that he/she needs (e.g. packages
that are currently in SPD, like scipy, numpy, notebook and then bunch
of custom libraries, that don't even have a spkg yet). See this thread
on sage-devel for more information regarding the relation of SPD and
Sage."

I do not know it's current status

From the above link:

News
I (Ondrej) am now working actively on FEMhub (femhub.org), which is based on SPD, but provide lots of other packages that we need. I currently don't have time to maintain both SPD and FEMHub, so I just concentrate on FEMhub now. Anything I do for FEMhub can be easily ported to SPD or Sage though, so if you want to base your distribution on SPD, let me know, so that we can put the common denominator of what we need into SPD.
