Adjusting setup.py

The setup.py file is used for meta information of the package and for the requirements. The initial setup.py file, as created by scaffold, looks like this:

try:
    from setuptools import setup
except ImportError:
    from distutils.core import setup

config = {
    'description': 'My Project',
    'author': 'My Name',
    'url': 'URL to get it at.',
    'download_url': 'Where to download it.',
    'author_email': 'My email.',
    'version': '0.1',
    'install_requires': ['nose'],
    'packages': ['projectname'],
    'scripts': [],
    'name': 'projectname'
}

setup(**config)

The config dictionary has to be adjusted in order to describe the actual information on the package and the author(s). The field install_requires should include a list with the requirements of the package. All packages listed in there will be installed when installing your package with:
