[pygtk] preparing a PyGTK app for PyPi

[Arjan Molenaar]

Hi,

seems like nobody responded ;/. Anyway, I do not set a dependency in  
setup.py because of the same reason you describe below. I just  
describe it in the description field, so it shows up on the PyPI.

See http://pypi.python.org/pypi/gaphor.

Regards,

Arjan
