I am one of developers working on the Python support in NetBeans project: http://wiki.netbeans.org/Python. I am working on the design of a "Egg Manager" in NetBeans, which will enable the Python developer to manage the "eggs" from NetBeans IDE itself. The manager will use 'easy_install' for the time being, via its XML-RPC interface, and will have support for user created 'virtualenv' platforms. This I am sure will be a definite value addition to the Python developers who are working with NetBeans. Coming to your question,( I am a newbie to this area), but seems like 'PyPI' is perhaps the best way to go with if anyone wants to design something related Package manager for Python and 'easy_install' will be the background working 'thread'.
