Yes, I can do that. But, don't you think a whole package for a single
python file is... too much?

Because I'll miss all the "egg"-related files. Won't I?
And, how can I choose the right destination folder? /usr/lib/python3
or /usr/lib/python3.4 perhaps?

Of course there is a __init__.py file with all the required import
inside mypackage/ folder. I forgot to mention.

Ok, you are right.

Yes yes, the whole file include README.md, COPYING, CHANGELOG and a
samples folder.


Thanks, bye
