Hudson can pull or you configure your VCS to ping a URL like
http://hudson.testrun.org/pytest-xdist/build
which will start a build.  What i usually do is configure Bitbucket
to ping 'sdist' build jobs, Hudson archives the 'tar' (called an 
'artefact') and have the sdist job trigger other jobs which then 
just easy_install/pip-install the the artefact from a remote URL 
and run the tests against it.  If you "sign up" with http://hudson.testrun.org 
and send me your account name i'll make you see all the configs behind
things.  Same offer is true for everybody else.

i think that's solved by now, see above.
