That will be a no-go on most platforms. I'd say just package it as a module and submit it.

Thanks for the quick reply. That's what I'm doing right now so I guess I'll have to just keep doing it this way.

Maybe someone will be able to create some tools to help in this regard (e.g.: 1. read a requirements.txt file at build time 2. download all the dependencies which are not already packaged for xbmc in the current addon directory 3. archive and submit the addon to the official repos).

Would you mind sharing what are the platforms for which the initial idea would not be possible and why is that so?
