    You need to

    1. Write a setup.py file
    2. Run python setup.py sdist tar gzipped file.
    3. Run register or submit the project using the web form.

    You can register using:

    >> python setup.py register

    An exmaple setup.py file is:

    #!/usr/bin/env python

from distutils.core import setup

 setup(name='Distutils',
  version='1.0',
  description='Python Distribution Utilities',
  author='Greg Ward',
  author_email='gward@python.net',
  url='http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/',
  packages=['distutils', 'distutils.command'],
 )

    Users will then just have to upack the taz file and run install..

    >> python setup.py install
