Note that this will make it impossible to distribute wheels of your package
or to install it into a virtualenv, because those don't have an /etc. So
it's mostly only suitable for projects that you use internally under a
known and restricted set of deployment options, not for anything
distributed on pypi.

In the previous email I forgot to say I use setuptools not distutils.

setuptools is really an extension of distutils, and for this, the
distutils documentation provides what you need to know:

Good luck!
