Maybe it should say

    scripts = ["PyMB.py"],

instead of:

    scripts = ["PyMB"],

unless you really have a file called PyMB with no filename extension.

Thanks I got confused since the modules list do not require the extension...it works now...

Another question: Is there a way to specify a path for the data files to be copied to, during installation? I noticed that they were copied to the /usr/ directory by default.

I would like to have all the files (scripts, modules and data files) installed to the same parent folder under /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/. How can I do this? should add the full absolute path as the directory for each datafile? What about for the scripts or modules? Is there a way to specify a installation directory?
