Yeah, you need to specify the module path. ie, ``py_modules =
["mytools.exceptionhandler"]``
However, chances are that you want use ``packages``:
setup (
...
packages = ["mytools"]
)
This should include the ``exceptionhandler`` module in the package.
Additionally, you'll need to structure the project to have a
``mytools`` directory that contains an ``__init__.py`` file(package
initialization module), and the ``exceptionhandler.py`` file:
projectdir/
|
|- mytools/
||
||- __init__.py
||- exceptionhandler.py
|
|- setup.py
...
This can be somewhat undesirable if you're using cvs, as chances are
you'll want to change the package's name at some point in the future.
However, I have found that the annoyance of empty directories
littering the module's tree does not outweigh the annoyance of not
being able to use setuptools' ``develop`` command. Not to mention the
simplicity of just using ``packages``.

setuptools' 'develop' command can be handy for this.
Hope this helps.
