Probably yes, they would mind. ;-) I believe the reason there's a space there is so that the file is not importable. (It should never be imported; it's a data file rather than a python module.) I suspect you'll have better luck with a suggestion like 'script-template.py', since that would still not be importable.
The setuptools code did not make it clear at all. Thanks for explaining!
I've created a pull request with the change, do you have any advice who should I talk to?
https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/pull-request/33/rename-script-template...
I've added a comment there about the underscore vs. dash; it looks from the other pull requests like Jason wants issues filed describing the problems that a pull request is intended to fix, and that may mean he hasn't seen the pull request yet.
Thanks for the suggestion, I've created an issue: https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/issue/134/spaces-in-file-names-make-it... I'm not sure if there's a bitbucket-internal linking between issues and pull requests? I've just pasted the link in a comment to the pull request. Maciej
