I am less excited about introducing a dependency into Nevow. It would be nice if we could distribute PyProtocols in the same tarball as Nevow and only install it if needed.
The (dual PSF/ZPL) license permits that. And, PyProtocols, is getting pretty stable, so it's not like you'd be updating it every day. But naturally, working on dependency support for distutils seems to be an Idea Whose Time Is Coming. There was a recent Zope3-Dev thread about such issues, although it was more specific to bundling subsets of the Zope3 system, rather than bundling third-party packages.
