I don't think I got it backwards at all, that I can see. Having your package
in your project (instead of generating it in the installation) doesn't
prevent PYTHONPATH in any way, it just means you need another level (i.e.,
the project) in PYTHONPATH.

AFAIK the work is being continued by the "distribute" project. I'm under the
impression at least that the setuptools/distribute way of distributing
Python software is emerging as the standard. I should definitely like to be
able to use "pip" to install e.g. pylint, especially given the complex
dependency set, even if I install some parts of the chain from Mercurial.
