A thought on catching setup.py related problems early.

mkdir sdist-test
cd sdist-test
hg clone .../satchmo satchmo
cd satchmo
python setup.py sdist -d ..
(cd .. ; tar zxpvvf ../Satchmo*.tar.gz)
diff -urwp -x .svn -x .hg -x dist -x build . ../Satchmo-*/.

If SOURCES.txt is being created correctly by setuptools, the only
difference should be an egg_info section of setup.cfg.


If it's broken (like the current issues with satchmo-trunk checked out
with current subversion)... you'll get a fair amount of

Only in ./docs: _static
Only in ./docs: _templates
Only in .: ez_setup.py
type output.

I realize that you don't use setup.py in your deployments, but I'd
much prefer the most automated and repeatable process available for
deploying satchmo (Or anything else) in its own sandbox.  Setuptools
provides a lot of automation, including dependencies.  Granted, it
also provides a lot of brokenness :-).
