David,
python@ would love to get a better idea (ideally a list) of where and
what the choke-points & hurdles users are coming across trying to

setuptools/distribute merge commotion settles down
The FreeBSD Python team can be found on FreeNode IRC (#freebsd-python)
if anyone wants to get the ball rolling.
