I created a new branch "cleanup_package_offering" to remove all packages that don't make much sense to have.

I refrain from removing cheetah after seeing that it used a c extension and there apear to be many users of it still.

The list of removed packages is here (legend: p) use pip, o) other package on the internet):

• bzr o
• django p
• docutils p
• ipython p
• mercurial o
• python-twitter p
• scons p
• vim o
• web.py p
• wine o
• xemacs o

Any more (or less) packages to remove?

Some of these packages are already removed and I documented here at http://code.google.com/p/rudix/wiki/NotInRudix the alternative way to install.

There's still controversy in remove mercurial or bzr, so I'm closing this issue for now.
