PackageManager should probably let you choose a tarball/ zip/folder on disk (or drag + drop) and look for a setup.py that it would do the Usual Thing with. Perhaps also let you choose an arbitrary .py file and scan for 'distutils' -- but I've only seen a called-something-other-than-setup.py distutils installer in one package (it had multiple setup-prefixed installers that installed different related modules, and an annoying no-op setup.py.. so I would say this is a bug on his part). PackageManager should be refactored to be responsive and non-blocking (i.e. threaded or forking).

See my PyMod application for a simple standalone solution that fulfills this requirement: http://freespace.virgin.net/hamish.sanderson/PyMod.app.sit Supports building and installing distutils packages, and PyPI registration through a simple GUI. Could use a better name and icon, and needs a bit more user testing (only tested on 10.2.6 so far), but is otherwise ready to roll, and you're welcome to include in the MacPython 2.4 distribution.
