I wrote my own distribution package with only one module, but the module file was not being installed along with the dist info file. I found by looking up the code for the `six` module that `setup` has a `py_modules` parameter which apparently must be used to make the installation work. This module is not mentioned anywhere in https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/distributing-packages/.
