I'd say, it's mostly the user who is expecting "setup.py" as the filename. Perhaps 'setup.py --install-sdk' and 'setup.py --install-lib' would be more approriate (which can be done with distutils).

distutils: renaming setup.py ok?
I want to distribute Python site-packages. Is it okay to use other setup file names than setup.py, which is mentioned in any place I read in the doc? E.g., setupMySDK.py, setupMyLib.py It seems that it works with distutils at least - but probably doing so has side-effects with other tools which may expect exactly "setup.py" as file name.
