It has nothing to do with IDE's because you will never need to *develop* Python code. Think of Python as a black-box runtime, just as you would install a JRE if you want to run a Java-based application. You just run the application, you don't worry about Java or the JRE. >> and then re-use its output multiple times, on multiple machines and >> with >> multiple developers, just as if you had downloaded it from Petr's web >> site.

Let me try to put it in short terms: Your current algorithm is like that: "download Petr's package" -> "use that package multiple times" Now replace the first step: "create the package locally" -> "use that package multiple times" It's really just about replacing the download with a local build step. It has nothing to do with creating a *specific* application over and over again. It has also nothing to do with optimization in the sense that you are optimizing a *specific* application. You are using the build step just to create a reusable library. You would repeat that step when you want to switch to a new qooxdoo version.
