[Distutils] Building Python Eggs

[Lutz Paelike]

Hey Amit,

a __init__.py file needs to be contained in a folder to make the  
folder a package.
Check out the python documentation for more information.


And you should move your setup file on the same level as the top-level  
package
The reason why find_packages() does'nt find your mainpackage is  
because it is
searching for packages on the same level or below the setup.py.


You have to change your directory layout to this:

###################
setup.py

mainpackackage
    demo1.py
    __init.py__

    subpackage1
        __init.py/__
####################

Cheers,

Lutz
