... there should be one such option because I've seen packages retrieved
from e.g. sourceforge servers . 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 .
