It is because Python's facilities for creating portable, clean, and
standard packages/modules/extensions is not that mature (compared, say,
to Perl's module world). ActivePython's PPM is limited to some common
Python extensions/packages because we (ActiveState) must do a lot of
manual work to ensure that those packages will build, install, and work
cleanly.

Hopefully the implementations from catalog-sig, that Laura mentions,
will bear fruit. Python's core distutils package could also stand to
have some more champions.

Cheers,
Trent
