This page: http://code.google.com/p/django-buildout/wiki/ProjectLifecycle

has a tutorial for creating a buildout for django. I'm interested in trying something like this (I'm using workingenv right now but it's not working on windows) but I'm wondering in anyone else here would be interested in this or want to collaborate. We could make a contribution to the Pylons wiki with the results. Seems like the django tutorial is a good start.

I think this would be a promising solution for bundling up Pylons with your app for redistribution if the complexity was hidden. I'm not great at setuptools and very wary of this
http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/zc.buildout page. Those instructions are crazy. Do they expect normal humans to use this tool if your day job isn't professional setuptools package manager?
