how to register with pypi - no such setup.py

[Phlip]

And the next question in the series - how to make sure the resulting
package has a setup.py file?

The basic steps are...

 - build a python package
 - create a minimal setup.py
 - (github it, natch)
 - throw it at pypi with:
     python setup.py bdist upload
 - attempt to install it with:
     sudo pip install my_package

and get this:

Downloading/unpacking my_package

  ...
  IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '.../setup.py'

So the irony is if I had to use setup.py to build the
MyPackage..tar.gz, why isn't it inside it?

Any tips?

(the actual package name is censored because I don't need people
finding this if they google for that!;)

(and this is a repost because I can't see my admittedly off-topic
question on the newsgroup)
