This is the one our research team is
working on:

  https://pypi.python.org/pypi/sciunit2

It doesn't work in linuxulator yet, but
our further contribution may make it
work.  I could try to ship on

  https://conda.io/docs/index.html

but still, pypi is a much easier platform
to approach for the users.

Since Python added manylinux1 abi
support to wheels, I suspect that it
may be popular to ship Linux-specific
binaries -- unless we propose a
freebsd abi to PEP?

And I don't think this is a *big* decision...
All we need are just Python modules
with Linux binaries, we are not asking
for packaging everything starting from
setuptools!
