Go for it.  My knowledge of distutils is minimal, at best.  I seem to recall
asking about this awhile ago.  Your structure seems fine to me.


    Anthony> scripts: the current setup.py installs all of the following as
    Anthony> scripts: 
    Anthony> cmp.py        HistToGNU.py   neiltrain.py  splitndirs.py  unheader.py
    Anthony> hammiecli.py  loosecksum.py  rates.py      table.py
    Anthony> hammie.py     mboxcount.py   rebal.py      timcv.py
    Anthony> hammiesrv.py  mboxtest.py    runtest.sh    timtest.py

    Anthony> I'd suggest that the only things that should be installed by

    Anthony>   hammiecli.py
    Anthony>   hammiesrv.py
    Anthony>   hammie.py
    Anthony>   neiltrain.py
    Anthony>   neilfilter.py -- but maybe with a better name?
    Anthony>   unheader.py   -- but maybe with a better name?
    Anthony>   pop3proxy.py  -- but maybe with a better name?

I take it you're segregating the script population into stuff which is
generally useful and stuff which is useful only for testing?  Seems
reasonable.  Again, my lack of distutils experience rears its ugly head.  I
think an install_test target mmight be useful (as in "python setup.py
install_test") but don't know how to implement it and was too lazy to figure
it out at the time.
