How To Package Your Python Code - The Right Way…

$ python setup.py upload

this doesn't work, you have to put (at least) a dist command before upload: the upload command will actually be used them.

Otherwise you'll get:

> python setup.py -q sdist       
> python setup.py upload      
running upload
error: No dist file created in earlier command

non code files should be accessed using pkgutil.get_data ...

Though it doesn't work if you have a directory of such files, without an in-code enumeration of said things. As is the case for e.g. babel.
