Has a buildout recipe for downloading and installing most of what you need.

You may also want to read:
http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/bzr.dev/developers/win32_build_setup.html

Which is all the steps it took me to get all of the dependencies
installed for doing the Win32 builds. Yeah, it is pretty sucky, but
windows doesn't have a dependency manager (no apt-get install foo-dev...)

So about 50% of the dependencies is handled via buildout. Stuff like
pycrypto, paramiko, and pyreadline are installed manually. I'm guessing
we could include it in the buildout recipe somehow, but my buildout-fu
is not particularly strong.


There have been requests for building the 64-bit pure-python installers
as well. Right now our build host is a 32-bit EC2 instance, and I don't
*think* you can build for 64-bit easily. We run 'python setup.py ...'
which sets up all the flags, etc.  And I don't see anything about 64-bit
in 'python setup.py build_ext --help'.
