I’m new to python. Are there alternatives to downloading a tarball for a python module & installing it via python setup install ? Anything like rubygems?
UPDATE I’m surprised that there are so many solutions for this one problem.

There are many options – you can stick with your system’s default packaging system (if it has one) or you can pick one (or more) of existing Python tools like
easy_install,zc.buildoutorpip. I would recommend you to use Distribute together withpip.
