The issue I need to address is to cooperate with other packaging
systems.
I'm using Fedora, which is rpm/yum based. A new python module is
announced,
I'd like to easy_install it. The official fedora package may be
delayed by
weeks. So I easy_install. But when the fedora update comes, they may
conflict.
Just as a FYI, yolk (http://tools.assembla.com/yolk/) has a plugin
system to search for Python packages installed by other tools than
distutils/setuptools. For example it bundles "yolk-portage", that
shows if a package was installed by Gentoo's Portage.

Cheers,
Jannis
