[Sugar-devel] setup.py install and git submodules

[Daniel Narvaez]

 I'm not sure.

I think we shouldn't refuse a patch that does that but before investing
time in writing one I wonder if it would be better to research a bit the
direction we should take worth code sharing... I think pypi is not as nice
as npm, though I wonder if it would be better than using submodules,
because dependencies seems like a fundemental feature... Of course you
could do submodules + our own dependencies thing but... It seems like we
should adopt something the python community already uses here, both because
it makes external libraries available and because it's not trivial to write.

Just thinking out loud really!
