Install: used a setup.py file to install python files

[matttbe]

Hello,

It's seems it's recommended to use 'distutils' python module to install python files.
Your script (install.sh) works fine but it seems Debian/Ubuntu devs prefer a cleaner method to install python files
Note that it can be interesting to also install .mo files with setup.py but I don't know if you really want to switch to setup.py but I just give you an idea ;)

Thank you for developing Devede!

Is a good idea, so if you can add the .mo files to it, I'll do the change.

This is the setup.py we use in Debian and Ubuntu:

Hi alessio:

That setup.py has a good look, but seems to not install the .mo files...

Hi rastersoft,

I modify setup.py to create .mo files and install it in the right directory. (I used this file as example: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~jaap.karssenberg/zim/pyzim/view/head:/setup.py)
I also rename devede.py to devede (and create a symbolic link: devede -> devede.py) in order to easily install it in bin/devede but it's also possible to copy it (devede.py -> devede) when we call setup.py.

I'm sorry, I didn't test it a lot because I don't have a lot free time... but I hope it's correct and it's what you want to have!

I hope it will help you and thank you for maintaining this application!

Matt

Please include this diff, install.sh is full of Linuxism and this makes hard times on BSD systems where's no bash shell in default install. setup.py is good way to go. Thanks
