Andreas, I agree with this last point. If we adhere to this, and make a nice tarball which will install for users without a distribution, or who want to install it without an rpm, deb, or ebuild, then we have done our job and the packagers life will be easy. For users who have to install Gnumed on their own, distutils is the only solution I know of. Most python packages that I download which aren't in Gentoo, I can easily install by reading the README, which usually just says "run 'python setup.py install'". This installs to my /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/ and puts everything else in the proper locations, such as docs. site-packages is automatically in the python path and everything imports properly. distutils is to python as configure, make, make install is to C/C++.
