Distribute or Setuptools. Distribute supersedes Setuptools on most distributions.

Recommended:

unrar, rar or libunrar to extract RAR archives.

p7zip to extract 7Z archives. Note that p7zip might be able to extract RAR archives as well, but this might require additional software (for example, p7zip-rar on Debian-like systems), and it might fail to open certain RAR archives, especially newer ones.

mupdf for PDF support.

pysqlite (if not already built into Python).
