[distutils] Install script under a different name

[Nikolaus Rath]

Hello,

All my Python files have extension .py. However, I would like to install
scripts that are meant to be called by the user without the suffix, i.e.
the file scripts/doit.py should end up as /usr/bin/doit.

Apparently the scripts= option of the setup() function does not support
this directly. Is there a clever way to get what I want?


Best,

   -Nikolaus
