i think there's nothing wrong.
the script (i guess you mean the setup.py file) is not included
into the package because you haven't specified it to be so.
add:
setup(
...
py_modules=["setup"],
...
)
inside your script to perform inclusion.
another way to include other files not specified by the setup script
is to write a MANIFEST where you indicate those files. then build the
package with the sdist command:
$ cat > MANIFEST
bin/foobar
bin/anotherfoobar
anotherbin/barfoo
setup.py
MANIFEST
ctrl-D
$ python setup.py sdist
