The tool I'm developing has two python packages (root and 'foobar'
in my earlier email), and one script. I want to package up the
packages and the script so that when an installer installs,
he gets the two packages and the script.

I created the package as "python ./setup.py sdist".

No, that's what I tried.

Is install-script really needed? I would have thought that specifying
setup( ... scripts = [...] ...) would suffice, based on the python
docs.
