[Distutils] How to register my python package which relys on the output of other project on pypi

[Young Yang]

Thanks your advice :)

Finally, I decide not to create an pypi package containing only binaries by
other program(not setup.py Extension).

Because I think my binding-project is an extension for project A, I should
assume the user has installed A successfully. Otherwise I will give some
information to guide users to install project A.
