Make a CPAN like system for Py3K

I know about cheeseshop and I know about setuptools. But how about all this be standard tools on python 3.0, so we can have something like CPAN but better. With setuptools being default on py3k you can already easy_install everything, ok but then we can do even more. When the user run a python script, if it requires a version of a lib that he doesn't have it could download it and install in his home folder (something in the lines of ~/pythonlibs). This will make it much easier to distribute python programs. I think this is somewhat like what java webstart does. What do you guys think? Also why no one is talking about having a tool like setuptools in the stdlib? -- Leonardo Santagada "If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands." - Douglas Adams
