For the most part, I use the package-index and package-resource features. In many ways I'd do better doing a lot of this myself. For example, people want to allow multiple indexes and I'd like buildout to do more network IO in parallel, using either an async IO library or threads. Buildout uses the easy_install command to build, but it would do better to just invoke a project's setup script, possibly after arranging that certain other required packages are accessible to the setup script. I could go into more detail if I remembered the details. :) If a sprint attacks this, as I hope, then a more detailed report would be a good product of the sprint.
