I have no problems with you including the MacPython additions, as long 
as (a) you make very clear which version it is (second build, 
currently) and (b) tell people where it came from, and where they 
should check for upgrades.

But personally I'm more interested in the reverse situation: I already 
have Python and the additions, including Package Manager, and I want to 
install PyQt (and possibly Eric3).

I'd like to make this accessible through the Package Manager, even if 
it is going to be a mostly-manual process (at least for PyQt, don't 
know about Eric3) as which wxPython. So an installer that only installs 
your PyQt build and another one that installs only Eric3 would be very 
welcome. And, of course, if either or both of these could be 
distutils-based I would be really happy;-)
