I want to keep my python install clean, so I do not have setuptools 
installed system-wide. Instead I have a small bin-directory managed by 
buildout which creates a python interpreter with setuptools, using this 
snippet:

[setuptools]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg
interpreter = spython
eggs = setuptools
scripts = spython


That allows me to use "spython setup.py sdist register upload". setup.py 
is invoked with __file__ pointing to the spython wrapper script, so any 
attempt in setup.py to use __file__ to found files will fail.
