I'm might just be dumb, but I cannot get the hang of usting setuptools
based on the docs at
http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools. Is there a simple
example available showing how to pack a few modules, a few scripts,
some resources files ( images ) and list a few dependencies ?

I've searched google and the links I found seemed to be dead or not
about setuptools at all, but as I allready mentioned; I might be
loosing my mind over here so ...

Yes, the documentation there is long on verbiage and short on
realistic examples. It is also hard to navigate, being one big page of
mostly-unfamilar concepts.

I suppose it doesn't help that I was never familiar with 'distutils'
before being convinced (in theory) that 'setuptools' was
better. setuptools leverages the existing distutils system and
knowledge -- but conversely, it seems to *depend* on that knowledge.

I'm also interested in this.
