bdist_mpkg is a distutils plugin that implements the bdist_mpkg command.
The command builds a Mac OS X metapackage for use by Installer.app for easy GUI
installation of Python modules, much like bdist_wininst.
It also comes with a bdist_mpkg script, which is a setup.py front-end that
will allow you to easy build an installer metapackage from nearly any existing
package that uses distutils.

The code started life at:
http://undefined.org/python/#bdist_mpkg
Bob Ippolito wrote most of the code.
The current repository is on Github.
Via pip:
pip install bdist_mpkg
From source:
python setup.py install
Make sure you are importing setuptools at the top of your setup.py.
Maybe something like:
try:
import setuptools
except ImportError:
pass
This means that you pick up the plugin mechanism that allows the bdist_mpkg
command to work via python setup.py bdist_mpkg
From your projects base directory (containing setup.py):
python setup.py bdist_mpkg
You can also run directly via the command line:
bdist_mpkg setup.py
This will run the built installer by default.
Try python setup.py --help bdist_mpkg for some options.
