[socal-piggies] Packaging Dippy

[jathan.]

Setuptools or distutils are easiest, because they put the power of how the
package is to be installed in the hands of the installer (egg, sdist, RPM,
easy_install, etc). Setuptools is newer and has a few more little perks, but
distutils will get the job done.

Both also allow you to upload your package directly to PyPI as well, which
is very convenient.

Your best bet is to just copy the setup.py from another dist and see how
they've done it.  Here's the setup.py from one of my small projects as a
simple example:
