1. 'python setup.py sdist register upload' (you could say this is a
   distutils feature, but my packages tend to unconditionally import
   setuptools in their setup.py)

2. virtualenv + easy_installing packages inside + getting all the
   dependencies specified with install_requires in step 1.

2b. same but with zc.buildout

3. entry points (usually for specifying console_scripts)
