From liw:

I think that might be workable. It's almost all pure Python,
and can be run directly from the source directories, so a tarball
with all the source projects included, plus a little script to set
up PATH and PYTHONPATH would work.

I've been thinking about this, and I'm afraid I don't want to put in the
effort to do this. Installation is a bit of a bother, but having packages
for the main Linux distros seems like the best way to solve this.
