python_packaging = 'Hell'
I'm so very confused by python's methods of packaging and distribution. There's distutils, setuptools, and then there's 3rd party tools. I'm confused. Is there a standard method for distribution? I've looked at distutils and it seems pretty good, but I'm concerned about it lacking uninstallation, which is necessary for anyone in my opinion.
Update: in addition to above I'd like to know how to use distutils to install my program in /usr/local rather than /usr, which will make it easier and safer to develop and test.
Update: nvm above update, you use python setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local

Personally, I'd rather be back in Hobbiton.

Re: python_packaging = 'Hell'
Setup Tools is quite common because u can use it in conjunction with pypi (alias Cheeseshop http://pypi.python.org/pypi). On the other hand if u dont have to much dependencies wrap it all up in one zip or tar.gz and u are done.
