setup.py

Making py2js setup.py installable would make it easier to try out deploy etc.

That's a good idea. Where should we put the py-builtins.js and later on possibly other scripts?

distutils has two options for this.

1. http://docs.python.org/distutils/setupscript.html#installing-package-data

If the *.js files are considered data it's under

package_data = {'py2js': ['data/*.js']}

http://docs.python.org/distutils/setupscript.html#installing-additional-files, where the layout might be like:
data_files = [('js': 'py-builtins.js')]

Awesome, this should work. I am a bit busy today, do you think you can fix this in your branch? I'll merge it.

Which way do you wanna go though?

Any way is fine with me. Choose one, it can always be changed later if it turns out that it doesn't work.

I guess that py2js.py should then somehow figure out the correct path to get the py-builtins.js, right?

Is a setup.py script still planned?
