ESRI users discover setuptools and easy_install
My work is done. Or, at least, the part of my work not involved with deprogramming OGC web services cult members. And the part of my work not involved with tooting my own horn. For example, check out this blog post from 2005 (2005!) on emailing Python script errors. Prescient, huh? Too bad I didn't write "or send a message not exceeding 140 characters -- a 'tweet', so to speak -- to your 'followers'." instead of "or ping your enterprise's paging system." If I had done that, you'd never hear the end of it.
