Fortunately, distutils includes tools like bdistrpm so that python modules can be packaged for easy processing by the system package manager. So once I need to switch back to a sysadmin role, I can use the system tools to install and track packages.
This is the same experience I have. I rely on setuptools and eggs
extensively in developing our software, and I use setuptools and eggs
as the primary method of giving our source code to other programmers.
But no software is ever installed on our production servers unless
that software is in .deb form in an apt-gettable repository, and this
requirement is unlikely to change for the forseeable future.
