This page should be made into a more comprehensive guide.

For now, see [[PackagingGuide/Python]] for a python application packaging tutorial created from an UbuntuOpenWeek session. Although the session is about packaging Python applications, most of it still applies to packaging individual modules. In a few places there are differences which are pointed out.

That tutorial assumes that you have already packaged your module using [[http://docs.python.org/dist/dist.html|Python's packaging conventions]]. If that is not the case, you should do that first.
