Roland mentioned debian's apt-get command.  I think that it 
includes some sort of dependency system so that one package 
knows which other packages it needs, and the command can 
alert the user which other packages are needed to run the 
one he's getting.

I'm not sure whether Python can support this type of functionality.
Is the disutils SIG working on this problem too?
