[Distutils] Unable to import python script after installing using easy_install

I wasnt aware of this option.  This looks a lot more like what I need.

This is custom business-specific code, not intended for general use or being
uploaded to PyPI.  They're going to be distributed to over 800+ locations
internally, so I was looking for a repeatable structured mechanism to deploy
the code and verify that it was installed correctly, vs. just copying the
files into the python sys.path and hoping they're there when they need to be
run (how it currently is working).
