[Distutils] Preparation of a pure python package for the Windows installer

[Colin J. Williams]

I get the impression from the documentation that it should be possible 
to use distutils to distribute a pure Python package in a form 
acceptable by the Windows installer.

Is this correct?

If so, I would appreciate advice on where I've gone astray in the script 
below.

If I enter this line:
       C:\Program Files\Python23\Lib\site-packages\PyMatrix>python 
setup.py sdist
the expected zip file is produced. in
        C:\Program Files\Python23\Lib\site-packages\PyMatrix\dist
