[Distutils] [setuptools] best way to create offline install bundles?

[primco]

Setuptools would have to packaged up with TG or Pylons. All programs need to
be self contained and can only depend on the standard library in the system
wide install. No 'automatic download' would be allowed either. Basically,
the whole thing needs to be copied and run. This is a basic feature of
Python scripts. It's unfortunate that things have become so complex that
this is no longer possible.
