I would love this as well, as I'm in a situation where setuptools is forbidden and I need to distribute Python apps like TurboGears and Pylons with loads of dependencies. What do I do to take a snapshot of the distribution and make an RPM of it? And the second part of that, if it is indeed a labor-intensive task, is how can it be automated? This is what Kevin is asking, of course, but I wanted to chime in that Pylons could use this as well and I'd be willing to work on it.
