Phillip,

Thanks for the pointer.  I am have been rereading the documentation on
easy_install this week.  I have one other question for you.  Have you
envisioned a workflow that interacts with RPM's or other package
management systems?  I know my company uses RPM's for example to
package up our Python Packages, and many shops use RPM and/or debian
packaging systems.

Thanks,


Noah
