distutils: renaming setup.py ok?

I want to distribute Python site-packages. Is it okay to use other setup 
file names than setup.py, which is mentioned in any place I read in the doc?

E.g., setupMySDK.py, setupMyLib.py

It seems that it works with distutils at least - but probably doing so 
has side-effects with other tools which may expect exactly "setup.py" as 
file name.


Many thanks,
Anastasios
