The directory structure of your project should probably look something like this:
my-project/
README.txt -- including a list of contributors would be nice
CHANGES.txt -- including dates in addition to version numbers
here would be informative
LICENSE.txt
setup.py
bin/ -- standalone scripts that this distribution provides
my-project/ -- the source for your project goes here
__init__.py
my-stuff.py
doc/
test/The packaging chapter of Dive Into Python 3 has some useful information.
