I'm using pyGTK. I want to layout a large element with 2 smaller ones on each side. For aesthetic reasons, I want the 2 smaller ones to be the same size.

As I write this I realize that there are some complications in doing something like that (excluding pages that redirect, for example) but i thought I'd give it a shot. if there isn't a built-in for this, what strategy would you use...

Python's easy_install makes installing new packages extremely convenient. However, as far as I can tell, it doesn't implement the other common features of a dependency manager - listing and removing installed packages. What is the best way of finding out what's installed, and what is the preferred way of removing installed packages? Are...
