setup.py应该放在你的项目的根目录。setup.py中最重要的一部分就是调用setuptools.setup，这里面包含了此包所需的所有元信息。这里就是sandman的setup.py的所有内容
from __future__ import print_function
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
from setuptools.command.test import test as TestCommand

here = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
def read(*filenames, **kwargs):
encoding = kwargs.get('encoding', 'utf-8')
sep = kwargs.get('sep', '\n')
buf = []
for filename in filenames:
with io.open(filename, encoding=encoding) as f:
buf.append(f.read())
return sep.join(buf)
long_description = read('README.txt', 'CHANGES.txt')
class PyTest(TestCommand):

errcode = pytest.main(self.test_args)
sys.exit(errcode)

)（感谢{敏感词} Heimes的建议让setup.py更符合人们的语言习惯。反过来，也让我借用其它的项目一目了然了。)
大多数内容浅显易懂，可以从setuptools文档查看到，所以我只会触及"有趣"的部分。使用sandman.__version__和gettinglong_description方法（尽管我也记不住是哪一个，但是却可以从其它项目的setup.py中获得）来减少我们需要写的引用代码。相反，维护项目的版本有三个地方(setup.py, 包自身的__version__， 以及文档)，我们也可以使用包的version来填充setup里面的version参数
