Write an installer for your web app/web site. Then rather than having
to hunt down individual packages, and manually install and configure
them, the installer does all the work in one go upfront. Many in the
Python web community use Buildout for easing the process of writing
the installer. If you have a buildout-ified project, then you should
be able to check it out of VCS and do:
$ cd my-project
$ python bootstrap.py # simple script to install buildout, or you can
install buildout system-wide seperately first
$ ./bin/buildout
Also, most Buildout recipes install the parts necessary to support a
web site self-contained within the project directory. This means that
you do not need to promote the bad practice of using 'sudo' to install
development stuff.
