[Pythonmac-SIG] Package Manager idea, adding a URL scheme

How about making up a URL scheme for Package Manager.. for example:
pypimp://undefined.org/pimp/?Numeric
would cause Package Manager to open:
http://undefined.org/pimp/appropriate.plist
And select Numeric in the package list and prompt the user to install
it and its dependencies
This would make it very easy for a module author to say "install on OS
X (or your platform) by clicking here" (after prompting to trust the
plist).
It shouldn't be hard to hook into OS X to make Package Manager handle
URLs of this scheme, and it could apply to other platforms as well.
