You simply have an automated post-install or binary distro build step w=
hich
does the little find-the-copyrights dance and dumps the result to somet=
hing
like LICENSES.txt or LICENSES.tex or LICENSES.hlp in the appropriate
directory and either declare it to be documentation or incorporate it i=
nto
the documentation delivered with the distribution.

People distributing Python with another package will have to do this so=
rt of
thing themselves, but that's not our concern.
