I added the sgmllib.py and xmllib.py modules to setup.py, but distutils
puts them in site-packages by default - where they fail to override the
standard versions.  What is the recommended way to make distutils
override a standard python package with a drop-in replacement such this?

Here is the setup.py from the sgmlop package above:

from distutils.core import setup, Extension

setup(
    name="sgmlop",
    version="1.1a2",
    author="Fredrik Lundh",
    author_email="fredrik at pythonware.com",
    description="SGMLOP -- a small and fast SGML/XML parser",
    url="http://www.pythonware.com/products/xmltoolkit/",
    py_modules=["sgmllib","xmllib"],
    ext_modules = [
        Extension("sgmlop", ["sgmlop.c"])
        ]
    )
