packaging a python application

[anand jeyahar]

Hi all,
    This is interesting. Do we have the distribute/setuptools equivalent of
postinstall (with ncurses interface) from Debian? My limited foray into
setuptools, indicate it doesn't have .
Is it a planned feature either? i would like to contribute in that case.
