[Distutils] bundling packages with setuptools?

[Christopher Fonnesbeck]

I have a Python module for doing MCMC simulation that requires a  
number of prerequisite packages to run, all of which are open source  
(so I can build and distribute the packages that are needed). I am  
wondering if there is a way to use the power of python eggs to be  
able to have a single installer that installs or updates all the  
required packages. Is there a way of having the egg installer for my  
package go ahead and fetch the eggs of the prerequisite packages and  
install them?

Thanks,
C.
