Chris,


Look at my previous post about distutils and RPM.

I'm doing something like that, only that I'm copying files because they are
not python scripts but images. And the other difference is that they are on
my own package... 

You can try using the following construction:

setup(
      name="name",
      version="0.1",
(...)
      packages=['wx.lib.YourPackage'],
      package_dir = {'wx.lib.YourPackage': '.'},
(...)


Here you tell that your package has the 'wx.lib.YourPackage' name and is
located in the same directory as the setup script. You can put it somewhere
else.


I hope this helps.


Be seeing you,
