Shawn,
Please see the other thread I started about distutils vs. make. If the resolution is to just stick with make, then there won't be any need to do anything with setup.py.

My hope was that one could do the following (when cherrypy isn't on your system):

hg clone ... ips
cd ips\src
python setup.py install
python setup.py test

and everything would build and the unit tests would run, including whatever is necessary with cherrypy to make this work.

My request was for setup.py to be able to obtain the cherrypy distribution
like the Makefile (if the tar.gz file is not going to be checked into hg),
not to build an SVR4 package for cherrypy.

I misunderstood then.

So is it acceptable to have setup.py grab the CherryPy tarball if it
doesn't exist?

That still wouldn't build it and install it into the proto area.

Cheers,
