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).

See my PyMod application for a simple standalone solution that fulfills
this requirement:
http://freespace.virgin.net/hamish.sanderson/PyMod.app.sit
Supports building and installing distutils packages, and PyPI
registration through a simple GUI.
Could use a better name and icon, and needs a bit more user testing
(only tested on 10.2.6 so far), but is otherwise ready to roll, and
you're welcome to include in the MacPython 2.4 distribution.
