I can't remember exactly where in the story that need arose...maybe just a convenience. And thanks for the hint on the argument interpolation; that _should_ make the list handling easier (why didn't I think of that?).

Anyway, cool stuff. :) Oh, one other quick comment… instead of using “arg=’(somevar)s’” in the template, you should probably be using “arg=(somevar)r”, which will properly escape quotes and the like in the strings. %r inserts the repr() of the value, instead of its string form, so you can also use it for the lists if you like, which may simplify some of your other code as well.

All kinds of bad things can and will happen if it's not, so it doesn't make any sense to do extra work in setup.py on the theory that the setup script might be somewhere else. :) Just an FYI… your setup.template.py file doesn’t need to use the os.dirname(__file__) stuff; a distutils setup script must always be run with the current directory being the directory that contains it.
