Hi,
What you are describing seems a lot like the task/way of operation of
Buildout. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.buildout Perhaps you should
take a look at it as it's mode of operation is to maintain a
collection of "eggs" either from sources or repos.
Personally I like the virtualenv approach (using pip and a
requirements.txt file) more but in the few projects i have used
buildout it's fine.
As for your other question. Yes if setup.py has changed then you must
make python/distutils be aware of it. That's the only occasion where
you must rerun it, at least that I know of.
Initially my idea was to actually use buildout/virtualenv.
The problem is that it's harder to make them completely transparent to the
user, and given the "users" I can't even possibly ask to run "bin/buildout"
but there must be a script that handles everything more or less
automatically...
