Package with setuptools as a python package

[domenkozar]

Linux distributions have a pretty stable toolchain to package Python programs with standard setup.py file

It doesn't really need installation beyond dependencies. What are you suggesting exactly?

I think he's asking for an egg package, which would then allow you to install with:

easy_install bitmessage.egg

Instead of having to deal with git. It would also automatically deal with dependencies, for example installing qt if needed.

Exactly.
