Guy,

	I know nothing about python other than what it is. I need to install
repoview-0.6.5 on my arch server, but I'm not sure where. Looking at the other
python apps like cairo, FusionIcon, etc.. thay seem to be installed as a
subdirectory to:

/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/

	The repoview directory contains:

drwxr-xr-x  3 david david  4096 Feb 19 13:31 templates
-rw-r--r--  1 david david  3457 Feb 19 13:31 ChangeLog
-rw-r--r--  1 david david 18009 Mar  3  2005 COPYING
-rw-r--r--  1 david david   708 Jul 19  2007 README
-rw-r--r--  1 david david  2634 Sep 27  2007 repoview.8
-rwxr-xr-x  1 david david 32932 Feb 19 13:31 repoview.py

	Do I just move the directory to /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/?  Then is
there something else I need to do to "register" (for lack of better words)
repoview somewhere so python knows it is there? Then what about the man page?
Anything special required to do I just move it to /usr/share/man or /usr/local/man?
