AFAICR , e.g. Trac is downloaded from t.e.o , is it worth to check what's been done in that case ? Nevertheless my main concern is that easy-installation might not be a result of publishing it on PyPI . Bloodhound installation is not a setup.py driven process . There are some scripts involved and I'm not sure PyPI provides support for such scenarios ... maybe it's worth investigating the wheel format [1]_ looking for a few answers and also to decide whether to adopt it as an (alternative | official) packaging format . The risk associated with (lack of) easy-installability is that users end up with an unstable system immediately after installation . ..
