installing both packages and (sometimes) modules

For the spambayes project, I have a distutils setup that installs the 'spambayes' package. I also (for 2.2) want it to install copies of 'sets.py' and 'heapq.py' modules into site-packages. Unfortunately distutils will let me have a 'packages' line, or a 'py_modules' line, but not both. Is there an easy way to do this that doesn't involve subclassing a distutils command?

Not that I know of, but why not use a sublass: ---------- from distutils.command import build_py class my_build_py(build_py.build_py): def run (self): if not self.py_modules and not self.packages: return if self.py_modules: self.build_modules() if self.packages: self.build_packages() self.byte_compile(self.get_outputs(include_bytecode=0)) # run () if __name__ == '__main__': setup(... cmdclass = {"build_py": my_build_py}, ...) ---------- Thomas
