How to install many python extensions in one step

Is it possible to collect many Python extensions an install them in one step? I have a Python build environment for an open source project that often needs to be recreated on multiple machine. It's a pain to double click through a bunch of python extension exes every time we need to do this.

Ideally I'd like to package a complete build environment, Python, extensions, system environment variables, and all, into a one step install process. But a single step extension install would also be helpful. Is this possible?

Yes, you can do that... do you have pip(python indexed package) installed in your system? if not, then install it... and put all the extensions into a single text file... say requirements.txt...

This is done by running

pip freeze > requirements.txt

then by using pip you can install it... by using this command...

pip install -r requirements.txt...

it will install all the extensions mentioned in the file...

you can find the pip package here pip might help you...

You can with Distribute define dependencies of a package, and easy_install or pip will install all dependencies when you ask to install the package.
