It extends distutils to do a number of different things (like install actual metadata, for instance), and it provides the metadata related to dependencies - but yes, it's easy_install or pip or zc.buildout (thanks Jim!) that actually makes use of the dependency info to automatically install things. > Anyway, is automatic dependency installation going to be a standard > feature of distutils2? Yes, d2 will come with a "pysetup" command similar to pip/easy_install that will handle dependencies.
