Note that if you want the libraries to be available to Python, as far
as I understand it, the standard way to do this is to a "*.pth" file
and put it into site-packages. For example, for my package (which puts
files into an "Ice" subdirectory), I created a file called ice.pth
containing only the following:
Ice
For yours, you probably want to create "myapp.pth" containing the line
"myapp" and install that into site-packages.
This doesn't answer the question of how to run the programs, though, of course.
