I am trying to use distutils to install a pyhon module. below is an idea of the code I want to use
Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. #!/usr/bin/env python
  2. from distutils.core import setup
  3.  
  4. setup(name="freevo_cropit",
  5.       version="0.1",
  6.       description="A Freevo plugin for wirting mplayer config files",
  7.       author="me",
  8.       author_email="shane@test.com",
  9.       url="http://test.com",
  10.       py_modules=['cropit.py'])

I have the cropit.py module in the same directoy as my setup.py script. I need to install the cropit.py module to this directory
Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/freevo/video/plugins/

how do I specify that in my setup.py?

AFter rereading my post, I am not sure if it is clear. All I want to do is use distutils to create an installer for both one python module, and one python script.

I need the python module installed to the directory
Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/freevo/video/plugins

and my python script installed to
Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. /usr/bin
In a perfect world exceptions would not be needed.
