packaging python modules

Recently I am becoming more and more involved in building for-fun-modules in python at home. As a result the problem of packaging my modules started to show up on my face. I found a good page which tells about the good practices in python.

For the time being i have decided on using pep8 and pylint for source confirmity. distutils for packaging and may be pip for managing the packages (iff debian package management system falls short due to some reason).

Tell me if you have some other solution.

>>>>import readline
>>>>import rlcompleter
>>>>readline.parse_and_bind("tab:complete")
>>>> hel TAB TAB
