you might have more success if you post to a more general python forum;
I'd recommend comp.lang.python:

most people use distutils, which is described in the "distributing python
modules" and "installing python modules" handbooks:

    http://docs.python.org/dist/dist.html
    http://docs.python.org/inst/inst.html

and has its own mailing list:

hope this helps!
