The only useful options are:
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
setup(
name = "HelloWorld",
version = "0.1",
packages = find_packages(exclude=['ez_setup', 'bootstrap']),
include_package_data = True,
install_requires = [...],
)
Most of the other - distutils - options are for Meta-data used by pypi. And because they are a pain to remember, you should use PasteScript templates or your IDE template features to create the a new distribution layout.

PasteScript templates??? To create the setup.py as well?
