Install the wheel project and use bdist_wheel instead of a simple bdist. Also, use the sdist (source distribution) command to create a source package (that needs a compiler to build). Binary packages are only compatible with the platform/Python version they are built on, so you may want to make multiple wheels, depending on what platforms you are targeting. >From what you provide, I'm not 100% sure if you have C code in your project, actually. If you don't, then a sdist is sufficient - although a wheel might be worth uploading as well (pure Python wheels are cross-platform). The plain bdist command produces a "dumb" binary distribution, which is obsolete, and frankly useless.
