setup.py needed in root directory for pip / easy_install

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In order to easily install gflags via pip or easy_install, a tgz with 
setup.py in the root directory seems to be needed.

Can you please either update the existing package or package a python only 
version of gflags so that it can be pulled in via pip or easy_install.

I tried searching for a way to tell pip to use setup.py in a subdirectory of 
an archive, but couldn't seem to find anything.

I think it's a mistake to have bundled the python and C versions together.  I 
just
did it because I was too lazy to make two releases. :-}

So I think the right solution is to create a new project.  I'll try to figure 
out
from some python experts here, the "right" way to release a python-only project.

Our plan is to actually break this up into two packages, one for C++ and one for
python.  We've started on it, and next release will be two releases. :-)

I've broken things up -- we now have python-gflags on Google Code, complete 
with .egg 
files, easy-install support, etc.  Hopefully this fixes things for you!

Except that there are no egg files and no downloads in that repository. You've 
closed this task, but perhaps you forgot to commit your changes?

Are you looking at http://code.google.com/p/python-gflags/?  I see both 
downloads and egg files there.

I see now. I previously didn't look in the downloads folder since the front 
page of the site says that there are no downloads and we should only look at 
the svn repo. http://code.google.com/p/python-gflags/source/browse/#svn/trunk

Thanks for the heads up-- I've fixed the homepage.
