Comments on: For Some Definition of “Reusable” http://yergler.net/blog/2010/03/09/for-some-definition-of-reusable/ Because eventually I'll be right. Theoretically.

I do need to spend some time with pip. Starting out in the setuptools world, I think I'm a little resistant to something "new", but the flexibility of installing from various DVCS systems is appealing. I also didn't realize it did both setup.py dependencies as well as its dependency file; I'll have to take a closer look.

Pylons hasn't solved the re-use problem that much, but punts to the traditional python environment. I do think that it has a bit of a better culture in this regard as it is a more traditional software development instead of web development culture. Also, you are right that we have different expectations: I put up a couple of small websites for small non-profits in my spare time, so there is no talk of hiring anyone. Btw, do checkout pip; the requirements file is what you specify that needs to be installed. It recognises when there are dependencies in setup.py files too, but when they're not declared you can add them manually.
