multi-file python organization

I'm writing a python application with multiple files, and I want to use standard tools with them aka. what is the make+autoconf for python. Any suggestions or resources?

You don't compile python files (it's possible though). If you want to use standard tools, then get yourself a text editor and the python interpreter. A suggestion would be to read the beginner's tutorial at python.org

Re: multi-file python organization

Maybe distutils is what you are looking for.

It's the standard way of distributing Python modules.
It will check that your source compiles, handle dependencies, install data files, and more.
