	distutils.core.setup(name='name',
				#...
				packages=[ 'pkg1', 'pkg2', 'pkg3', ],
				scripts=[ 'script1', 'script2', ],
				#...
				)

pkg1, pkg2, pkg3 will be copied into the python site-packages directory.
For example, /usr/local/lib/python2.1/site-packages/pkg?.
pkg? are directories which contain .py files.

script1 and script2 will be copied into the local script directory
(usually /usr/local/bin).  These can be shell scripts.

Here's one that I use:
