I'ld rather not see a whole slew of extra packagse appear. I also wonder how the extra number of packages and increasing size of sys.path influence performance and restrictions on environments like GAE.
For environments like GAE you don't want setuptools and its magic to be part of your application. This is were repackaging your entire app into one zipped egg or some other flat structure comes in handy.
Setuptools and eggs are a distribution format from my point of view. They are certainly not the best way to deploy your applications. The growing sys.path is affecting performance to some degree in all deployment environments.
Well, zc.buildout ought to be able to eliminate this concern for GAE deployment. I haven't tried the recipe below, but it certainly seems like the right idea. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/rod.recipe.appengine Shane
