PyPi package

[Rio]

Is there a way to create a PyPi package for easy installation with
pip?

It would make the whole thing easier for everybody to try out!

I think we may enroll pyffmpeg to PyPi.
But there are two problems.

- It is needed ffmpeg a 'shared' distribution when to build pyffmpeg.
- It is also needed when to run pyffmpeg.

unfortunately, pyffmpeg demans very closer versions for ffmpeg.
but ffmpeg(libav) has large family(e.g. support for x264, WebM, and
multithreaded)

Indeed, that is the problem for pypi, it is not simple to select for user which version
of ffmpeg to use, knowing that ffmpeg may or may not be already installed somewhere
on the hard disks. Especially, the way to install ffmpeg is quite platform dependent,
and the location for headers is not standardized on some platforms.
It is also clear that some users want to compile with a specific version of ffmpeg,
so to download and install a designated version of ffmpeg is not good choice too.

So if a pypi package is not the simplest things to provide, it is clear that to
have regular binary built under windows, debian packages for linux boxes,
and fink package for mac would be a huge benefit for everyone.

To set up this would require one responsible per platform.
I already had somewhere a beginning of possible debian package,
but I recently had a hard-disk crash, so I have to check my backups.
