commands usually calls other commands (bdist for instance calls build)

you can get a list of commands with:

$ python setup.py --help-commands

but i don't think you can list the underlying commands. The only
way is to look into the code of each commands.

what are you trying to do precisely ?

you are building two distributions here, one source (.tar.gz) and one binary
(.egg)
look into your dist/ folder.
