This one, I believe. HoumanG has been working on PyPM (like PPM for Python)
for which he is creating appropriate setup.py scripts for packages such as
NumPy.

I wrote a new setup.py script for NumPy a week ago. The script I wrote
builds the RANLIB and the LALITE as part of the core NumPy; and the binary
distribution of NumPy built with my script also installs the RANLIB and
LALITE.
If the question is that Distutils supports a source tree structure like the
one NumPy has, the question is no. However, I made a patch (for Distutils)
and submitted to SourceForge which allows the source tree to be spread in
more than one directory. A copy of the patch is in the attachment.
