I did my best at explaining that deeply confusing setup.py process here: http://wiki.python.org/moin/Distutils/Tutorial
I have also seen two other approaches: 1. A new app called 'Quickly' which is some kind of magical auto-do- everything-ubuntu connected to Launchpad. From what I hear it sounds very cool. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Specs/Karmic/Quickly 2. The Ubuntu PPA repositories -- google around.
