I'm creating a Python application that is internal to my organization, but will be installed on both Linux and Mac OS X machines. The application depends heavily on a number of "non-pure" modules (those that have C/C++/FORTRAN components), like numpy, scipy, gdal, etc.
What is the most "pythonic" way to bundle these types of modules inside my application?
I've investigated dist_utils and setuptools, and I don't see an easy way with those tools to include build instructions for packages built with autconf tools.
Is my only recourse to write a custom install script that calls the "configure;make;make install" from a shell?
