Between setuptools / wheel / pip / virtualenv there is actually a good case for a shared common code project to vendor from. The easiest example of functionality contained within this would be version parsing, although there are a number of other features as well (eg installing a wheel).

Re: [Distutils] Pypi to enforce wheel, python3 - is it possible?
