Really people should at least be uploading source packages in addition 
to eggs; it's certainly not hard to do so.

Perhaps a distributor quick intro needs to be written for the standard 
library.  Something short; both distutils and setuptools documentation 
are pretty long, and for someone who just has some simple Python code to 
get out it's overwhelming.

Fredrik also asked for a document, but I don't think it is this 
document; it wasn't clear to me what exactly he wanted documented.
