distutils: How "uninclude" one Python file and/or one .h (C header) file???

[Luca Fini]

I saw a number of questions about distutils. I know how to answer to this
one:

You can use the file MANIFEST.in (see section 7.2 of the distutils manual)
and put the command "exclude" in it.

I've also had the problem of doing some "postinstall" operations with
distutils. I simply put them into the setup.py file after a clause:

if 'install' in sys.argv:

But maybe there are better option (it's my first time with distutils)
