Comment (by zooko):

 Well, can you (either of you) show me a script that is used to package
 Python applications for your system? I imagine that you could do something
 like this:

 {{{
 tar xf $SOURCE_DISTRIBUTION
 cd $TOP_LEVEL_DIR
 python setup.py install --prefix=$TARGETDIR --single-version-externally-
 managed --record=list_of_installed_files.txt
 }}}

 Then collect all the files that got written into {{{$TARGETDIR}}} and put
 them into your newly created package. This should work with any
 setuptools-built Python package.

 But, if that's not how you do it, then show me how you do it and I'll see
 if I can help make it so that the setuptools automatic resolution of
 dependencies gets out of your way.
