Summary: Enhance PackageManager functionality
Initial Comment:
PackageManager should probably let you choose a tarball/
zip/folder on disk (or drag + drop) and look for a setup.py
that it would do the Usual Thing with. Perhaps also let you
choose an arbitrary .py file and scan for 'distutils' -- but I've
only seen a called-something-other-than-setup.py distutils
installer in one package (it had multiple setup-prefixed
installers that installed different related modules, and an
annoying no-op setup.py.. so I would say this is a bug on
his
part).
PackageManager should be refactored to be responsive and
non-blocking (i.e. threaded or forking).
