Richard,

rev:4160 contains the refactored setup.py script. I didn't change any
file locations yet, so this should work just as fine as before (I notice
some errors during rpm generation due to installed but unpackaged
compiled python modules (.pyc and .pyo). Will look into that later...)

I Created a new 'NEWS.txt' file for release notes, and dramatically
reduced the 'long description' to setup. Let me know if you think it's
now not long enough. (I don't think it makes sense to put release-notes
into the description, neither upgrading hints nor pointers to where to
download the package from. The reader of that text will already know. :-) )
