You can take as you like. I'll just quote from official Python docs
avaialble at http://docs.python.org/install/index.html:
"The new standard: Distutils
If you download a module source distribution, you can tell pretty
quickly if it was packaged and distributed in the standard way,
i.e. using the Distutils. First, the distribution’s name and version
number will be featured prominently in the name of the downloaded
archive, e.g. foo-1.0.tar.gz or widget-0.9.7.zip. Next, the archive will
unpack into a similarly-named directory: foo-1.0 or
widget-0.9.7. Additionally, the distribution will contain a setup script
setup.py, and a file named README.txt or possibly just README, which
should explain that building and installing the module distribution is a
simple matter of running
python setup.py install
"
Of course, you can always do whatever you want.
Sincerely,
Gour
