Python packaging

Package and distribute the project the way it is supposed to.

Is this even relevant for us? It's "just" a script, more like a tool and not a module. Or do you want to add an api so you can import this script also as module in other projects? However I am not sure if that makes much sense. Some media players could use it as backend though.

My AUR package already packs the script btw. That is way enough if you ask me, but I might missunderstand :)

A python package need not always be a library or intended to be imported.
It's just a standard way to package and distribute python projects.

For example, many python utilities (youtube-dl,
https://github.com/iCHAIT/moviemon) are also distributed through pip
(pypi), which assumes this standard packaging. Installing from source is
also achieved by running python setup.py install

Also, arch packaging over python packaging is a common practice (again, youtube-dl and almost all popular python projects). pypi will also make the project easily distributable to all platforms.

Do as you wish :)
