Yes, but still a lot less complex than the scipy one.  The problem with the 
distutils examples (IMO) is that they are _too_ simple, and it takes a lot of 
trial and error to figure out how to do more complicated thingz.  distutils 
has a horrible learning curve: it's really easy to do what their examples say, 
but anything beyond that requires digging through the (mostly uncommented) 
source code.

Here goes.  If you do an svn checkout of ipython you'll get all of that.
