The open question is: do we want to include a full installer that takes care of installing / removing dependencies as well ?
I think not. Pip already provides this feature on the top of distutils (and distutils2 later I guess) and is not hard to install on the top of Python.
Is pip able to determine and install dependencies recursively, like easy_install does? Or is it up to the requested package to it specify its dependencies (and its dependencies dependencies) in a pip requirements file that is distributed separately?
My experience is that only `install_requires` is needed (unless you want to create app bundles AFAICR) , but in practice I've noticed that *some* easy_installable packages are not pip-able (though I had no time to figure out why :-/ ) -- Regards, Olemis.
