And I'm talking about **applications** (eg. some code + some library depending on an installed python stack) vs **libraries** (code simply installed along the current python stack).
That's the point, though. In general, distutils installs Python packages, which are *libraries*, not *applications*.
I've got a lot of python applications on my system and AFAIK those are all installed by distutils / distribute. They are almost all installed using the debian packages, but those debian packages are created using distutils / distribute. I don't think it's useful to the make the distinction and it is not easy to make anyway (django also installs the django-admin command, so it is a library or an application?).
