Thank you for the clarification.

It's only that I use a folder full of small tools, partly with GUI,  
most of them access the same packages, and I don't like to mess this  
up with lots of setup.py or more subfolders.

I package only those few tools that my colleagues can use standalone  
(I keep those on a server share, so I can easily update them for all  
and nobody must fill their diskspace with redundant code of bloated  
python apps).

No need to argue...
