I am the meta-packman :)  Generally I just make sure I have all the 
correct stuff installed, sometimes I modify the setup.py (or create 
one, that just puts the .so and .py files in the right place, in the 
case of metakit or something).

That's why I only really bother with binary archives.. last I checked, 
the pimp module also isn't smart enough to build something that needs 
any other steps happen before setup.py (like with PIL's libImaging), so 
I think Jack is using one with a modified setup.py.
