Conceptually I find these no different from setup.py scripts, and these have been mostly normalized (or at the minimum have a conventional name and a conventional if not specified interface.)

Except that you programmatically interface (to distutils or setuptools) with setup.py, which is not the case with virtualenv or distil.

I feel this is worth discussing as bootstrapping is where everything begins :)

Oh, certainly it's worthy of discussion - I wasn't meaning to imply otherwise. Regards, Vinay Sajip
