It's actually a pretty interesting and typical problem. One of the big challenges is spanning the internal reach of python packaging to 'the outside'. I wish I could use a mac - where we don't have these problems. But under Linux, even on a good distro like debian or ubuntu, it can take a while to locate all the compilers and external tools that are required to build your given package. Doing 'fresh' installs on a fresh os surely is a typical developer use case... or should be going forward.. It should be pretty simple to specify external os-packages and pull them in. Somehow.. :-) (apt-get) There must be some way to put these into a coherent config file.
