Really people should at least be uploading source packages in addition to eggs; it's certainly not hard to do so.

Perhaps a distributor quick intro needs to be written for the standard library. Something short; both distutils and setuptools documentation are pretty long, and for someone who just has some simple Python code to get out it's overwhelming.

Fredrik also asked for a document, but I don't think it is this document; it wasn't clear to me what exactly he wanted documented.
