Right, yeah, the plans in this area were fluid for awhile, but the eventual conclusion was that the stdlib should have a command-line utility capable of installing packages with dependencies. That exists in default branch now; it's called pysetup. It doesn't have nearly all the features of easy_install, buildout, or pip, but it can install packages from an index with deps. Carl
