I work in a very active build environment, and repetitive"setup.py build" time is pain point. currently, we have a pretty fragile virtualenv caching strategy, and I've even considered patching distutils so that "setup.py build" would somehow work against a cache. currently, my mindset is to migrate to a modular rpm install strategy (managed by puppet) to prevent wasteful build time.
Marcus P.S. Daniel's "wheel" format is another possible to answer to my concern
