To Do Item ideas

• Handle data files in a sensible way, make use of the logic in http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/35ec7b2fed36eaec/2105ee4d9e8042cb?pli=1 and http://arthurkoziel.com/2008/12/31/including-additional-files-distutils-python-23/ possibly with the option of defaulting the directory name in site-packages to the package name

  from distutils.core import setup
  from distutils.command.install import INSTALL_SCHEMES
  
  for scheme in INSTALL_SCHEMES.values():
      scheme['data'] = scheme['purelib']
  
  setup(name='foobar',
        version='1.0',
        data_files=[('foobar/docs', ['README']),],
  )
