Thanks a lot for this information.
If I understood correctly you wouldn't even need npm at all, correct?

Do you know of an example project that is using this?
Where would you handle this bundle creation and nodejs downloads? From
setup.py? From a gearbox command?

And do you have suggestions with respect to the handling of external
asserts when creating a pypi package, in particular taking into account
licensing aspects of the GPL (Kallithea is a gplv3 project).

Thanks,
Thomas
