Yes, getting it to install using distutils is the first step.  You will
also need to change your starter scripts from shell to python.  This is
needed so that it can be installed in more than one python version at
the same time.  You can get an examples from gentoolkit's eclean,
equery, enalyze.... You might also want to look at etc-proposals, he
uses one script to start either the gtk or qt guis depending on the
users preference or as an input parameter.
