During this testing I came across a couple of pysetup3 issues:

1. It doesn't appear to like archive names containing spaces (example: the
"ISO8583 Module" on PyPI)

2. It ("pysetup3 install tarball") leaves temporary folders lying around (the
ones that contain the expanded archive to be installed, e.g.

/tmp
  tmpiv3p7u
    pythonselect-1.2
        The contents of pythonselect-1.2.tar.gz

Although there are similar issues on the tracker, they don't seem to be quite
the same - are these known issues, or should I log them?
