+[http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools setuptools] is a Python module that helps to compile, distribute and install Python packages by wrapping them into "egg"s. Eggs contain additional information to process dependencies, etc. Trac [TracPlugins plugins] can be packaged as eggs since [milestone:0.9]. Starting with [milestone:0.11] Trac itself can also be packaged using setuptools.
+
+Installed setuptools version can be checked with the following commands (should work for other Python packages too):
+{{{
+#!sh
+$ python
+Python 2.3.5
+>>> import setuptools
+>>> setuptools.__version__ 
+'0.7a1' 
+}}}
+
+Setuptools can be installed using bootstrap script from PEAK:
+{{{
+#!sh
+wget http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py
+python ez_setup.py
+rm ez_setup.py
+}}}
+
+setuptools include "easy_install" script for convenient installation of packages found on [http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/ Python Package Index] including Trac with all necessary dependencies.
+
+{{{
+#!sh
+$ python -m easy_install Trac
+}}}
