[Python-Dev] Sumo

[Lennart Regebro]

OK, I had an idea here:

How about that the people affected by difficulties in getting software
approved got together to put together not a sumo-python, but a
python-extras package? That package could include all the popular
stuff, like SciPy, Numpy, twisted, distribute, buildout, virtualenv,
pip, pytz, PIL, openid, docutils, simplejson, nose, genshi, and tons
of others.

That would be a big download. But here's the trick: You don't *have*
to install them! Just bundle all of it.

If licensing is a problem I guess you'd need to have permission to
relicense them all to the Python license, which would be problematic.
But otherwise having a team of people overseeing and bundling all this
might not be that much work, and you'd avoid the bloat by not
installing all of it. :-)

Or would this not fool the company trolls?
