Managing Python Scripts with Distribute's Easy... →
Whenever you install, upgrade, or change versions of a package, EasyInstall automatically installs the scripts for the selected package version, unless you tell it not to with -x or —exclude-scripts.

My Tumblr Evaluation Period
Still trying to decide what I think about Tumblr. It is a handy enough service: free, quick to setup, easy to use, results in a decent looking micro-blog in a handful of minutes.
