I'm a slacker, so what I would do would be to make a slack build, the slackbuild would take the source and build that. The stage I am at is the "how to build the source" stage. Don't really intend to get as far as distribution specific packages. What I could do is create a script in the source root directory (that sounds a bit overblown) that simply concatenates together all the python files in the right order and perhaps copies the result to /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin as appropriate. Is that the right way to go? It looks like distutils is appropriate only for modules. OTOH it might be appropriate to put the bulk of an application in a module and have a function calling it the only part of the main script.
