Python eggs and easy_install seem to have that problem well in hand, so that's
not as big of an issue.
Figuring out how to build a sandbox that is:
a) actually secure
b) usable for the application author
c) usable for the plugin writer
d) portable to at least Windows, Linux, Solaris, *BSD and Mac OS X
is significantly trickier, because current solutions all fail one or more of
those 4 criteria, and it isn't clear which (if any) would make an appropriate
starting point for doing it right.
Cheers,
Nick.
