imports w/ setuptools in pylons

Hi.
I have a developed a pylons application using sqlachemy,
firebird (w/
kinterbasDB), and various library components shared across
the rest of
my development tree. I am finally ready to package and
deploy the
application, but am encountering some difficulty. My
closest
experience to setuptools in the past has been with py2exe.
When I run
py2exe it walk the chain import and bundles in required
modules (found
in CWD or on the path). I understand with "setup.py
bdist_egg" that I
can declare egg dependencies and I have no problem getting
the end
user to easy_install these as necessary, but... and here is
the
question....

Is there any directive I can give to setuptools such that it
will walk
the import chain in a similar way to py2exe? I don't wan't
it to
include my required eggs, but at the very least it should be
able to
go to my lib folder and bundle in the required non-egg
modules. Short
of that is there any way I can get it to simply tell me
which modules
need to be available?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

It hasn't been tested much but I included a command in
buildutils that 
does something like this.  You can do easy_install
buildutils, then:

   python setup.py bundle

It will look at the requirements you list in setup.py, and
include all 
the necessary eggs and try to patch up any executables to
use the 
bundled eggs.  I haven't actually used it seriously myself,
but I'm 
interested in any bugs or feedback you have on it.
