Hmm, thinking of it: would distutils allow recursive builds/installs ? Or must I add logic to figure out which parts of the cake are available to build/install and then setup a single setup.py file ?
This is one of those things I've pondered about in the past. Haven't ever tried it though. At a minimum, there would have to be something in the setup script that says, "these directories are sub-distributions, please cd into them in turn and run the setup script there". Presumably it would run those setup scripts with the same arguments as the current script. All speculation, of course...
