[Distutils] Releasing eggs as .tar.gz with setuptools or zc.buildout

Hello,

I am now working on a project that I need to deploy on different servers in a
compiled form, as tar.gz files (the servers do not have gcc for example).

The project comprises two libraries and an extra set of config files and scripts
for batch computation.

I would like to have a utility that does all the packaging for me, that is
create a tar.gz for each lib and one for the scripts, each containing a
directory with the compiled things.

Here are my different approaches:
- - setuptools bdist: This is almost what I need, except that it creates a usr dir
on top of the tarball.
- - zc.buildout: this looked promissing (although pretty hard to get into). I
stumbled upon collective.releaser, which I thought was what I needed, but its
project_deploy script just tarballs the entire buildout directory.

Here is the config file I used for project_deploy:
[buildout]
parts =
      myproj

[myproj]
recipe=zerokspot.recipe.git
repository=/data/proj/myproj
branch=unstable
as_egg=true

I am getting quite desperate...

Can anyone give me pointers ?

Thanks,
Martin
