Why do you feel the need to layout your code in a "GUI-listview"
manner. Next you'll want column titles and column sorting... Jeez!
This is what you should have done...

DESC = """
Provides a class for storing information on
multimedia files that are to be converted
or remuxed and methods to convert and remux
using popular tools.
"""

setup(
    name='Elucidation',
    version='0.0.1-WIP',
    py_modules=['elucidation'],
    author='Andrew Berg',
    author_email='baha... at digital-signal.net',
    url='',
    platforms='Windows',
    description=DESC,
    )
