Also, in Django to date we've eschewed external dependencies. That has been partly due to the poor and confusing state of Python packaging, which is hopefully improving.

Our current recommended installation method is via pip [2], and we would be doing our users a disservice to recommend otherwise.
Slight warning: everyone recommends pip, but watch out with windows. Pip doesn't support binary eggs (which easy_install does), so all those python database drivers will need to be compiled.
And virtualenv/pip defaults to a nicely isolated virtualenv, so the clicky-clicky-install python database drivers (and other binary eggs) won't get used.
So: pip sounds great right until you need binaries on windows.
