Hello Tarek,
I think "apt, yum, etc" would be also used for packaging/distributing apps.
There is already a command that let you create a rpm package (bdist_rpm) out of a python package, There were also a bdist_deb project but it never made it to distutils, also for Debian there's a policy on how to work with python packages : http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ Last, this mailing list had a lot of threads about the fact that there's no standard way in Python to work with resources that could be installed in the system, using a LSB-compliant approach. So I don't have (I think no one does at this point) any clear view of what could be done in this area.
