Just to butt in a little bit and add a tidbit of info. I've worked a
little on trying to make dependencies less strict in python.
(Specifically I write for python2.3, but want it to run in py2.2).

One really neat trick that I found is:

sys.modules['modulename'] = Module

So if you can guarantee that your module is loaded first, you
can do the following:

try:
  import Numeric
except ImportError:
  import sys, NumericLite
  sys.modules['Numeric'] = NumericLite

Then anyone who tries to 'import Numeric' will get your
package, rather than failing.
