python - creating a simple package that can be install via Pip & virtualenv

Question

I would like to create the simplest (hello world package) package that I could install using pip in a virtualenv from a local zip file.

In python i would do

>> from myinstallpackage import mymodule
>> mymodule.sayhello()
hello !

What would be in the setup.py and in the package folder ?

Thanks

You have to create account on http://pypi.python.org/. Then you can upload the module on http://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=submit_form.

Doc on this site contains all commands like

How to create module which can be upload on pipy?

How to download fro pip?

etc...
