It will be enough to use the method outlined in the distutils
documentation. Setuptools is a third-party library that used to be the
de-facto standard for Python packaging. I don't want to go into detail
why setuptools might not be the best choice for a project and leave that
to [1] and [2].
The Distribute project was started in order to fix several bugs in
setuptools which was essentially unmaintained for a year and provides a
backward compatible fork in the 0.6 branch.
