Comment:

 Thanks Yawning! Made some adjustments to make our setup.py more intuitive.

 You were absolutely right that we should adjust our shebang line.
 Distutils usually does this for us, so added a bit akin to what it does.

 As for your second point, we have a couple arguments to our installer for
 additional resources...

   * --man-page to specify the man page location
   * --sample-path to specify the nyxrc.sample location

 You're right that it's confusing that those don't respect --user or
 --prefix. This is actually normal for distutils (I was confused too that
 absolute resource paths aren't adjusted). That said, it *is* odd so
 changed our setup.py to not install those by default.

 Feel free to reopen if you can think of anything else!
