EasyInstall is great, it automatically detects and installs all dependancies, but there are some other nifty things that you can do with it. Using the entry_points section of the setup.py, you can ‘register’ classes and functions, so they can be located later. Lets say you had a bunch of ‘plugins’ that you wanted dynamically find and load at runtime, with entry_points, it’s fun and easy.
