distutils setup ignoring scripts

I'm using Python 2.2 on RH9. I have a set of Python modules organized
into a root package and one other package named foobar. setup.py looks
like this:

from distutils.core import setup

setup(
name = 'foobar',
version = '0.3',
description = 'Foo Bar',
author = 'Jack Orenstein',
author_email = 'j**@geophile.c om',
packages = ['', 'xyz'],
scripts = ['bin/foobar']
)

The resulting package has everything in the specified directories, but
does not include the script. I've tried making the path bin/foobar
absolute, but that doesn't help. I've googled for known bugs of this
sort but have come up emtpy. (The first line of bin/foobar is
#!/usr/bin/python.)

I've also tried using DISTUTIL_DEBUG, which has been uninformative,
(e.g. no mention of bin/foobar at all).

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

I learnt that distutils can be used to package python modules and packages. Fine it does that well. Suppose I am writing an python application (not package or module), and suppose that I am using Linux. Where should I install the python source files and bin scripts and data in my /usr directory? Should the python (.py) files go into /usr/lib/pythonXX/site-packages or /usr/lib/myapp or /usr/share/myapp ?

I'm in a situation where I need to distribute several interdependent Python packages. There are good reasons not to combine them all into one package. Distutils doesn't seem to be able to bundle a heterogeneous mix of multiple packages and modules, and so I've currently got people launching three installers in the proper sequence in order to get software installed, which seems needlessly complicated and confusing. There must be a better...

Some time ago, I got the idea that I wanted to build image resources from vector graphic originals, instead of marshalling hundreds of tiny little icon images by hand. I wrote "BuildImage" to do this for me, and so far, it works very well, so I'm trying to make it easier to use and available to more developers. There is a brief (and somewhat dated) tutorial explaining what BuildImage itself does at:

Hi folks, I'm looking at packaging a project I'm working on using distutils. The project is for Windows and contains a COM server which needs registration, so the installer needs to be a little more complicated than usual. Looking at the options for the bdist_wininst command to distutils, I see it's possible to specify --install-script=<myinstallscript> which ought to do the trick. But to use this, myinstallscript itself must first be...

Hello I'm writing a package that has cgi-bin scripts, html files and data files (templates used by cgi scripts). I find that using distutils in the standard way does not give me enough flexibilty, even if I use a setup.cfg. For example, I want certain data files to go to markedly different locations.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
