Bento's documentation and source code should be required reading for anyone doing Python packaging work. It is actually well designed, which comes as something of a shock if you are accustomed to hacking on nested-subcommands-that-initialize-and-call-each-other. Bento cleanly separates the build and install phases, it includes an intermediate JSON metadata "ipkg.info" with the PEP metadata, install paths, and file lists, it is easy to hack on. It needs a better lexer.
