I am a new MacPython (ver 2.6.1) user who has downloaded the "PyUSB" module, but am unclear about how to make it available for use in a program. Included among the downloaded files is 'setup.py' (and 'setup.pyc'). Running 'setup.py' via IDLE yields the following error msg:
---
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Applications/Python 2.6/pyusb-0.4.1/setup.py", line 62, in <module>
    ext_modules = [usbmodule])
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/distutils/core.py", line 140, in setup
    raise SystemExit, gen_usage(dist.script_name) + "\nerror: %s" % msg
SystemExit: usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
   or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
   or: setup.py --help-commands
   or: setup.py cmd --help

error: no commands supplied
---
It seemed that 'setup.py' should be run in order to access functions in the PyUSB module, but perhaps I misunderstand the process. It would be appreciated if someone could suggest a related reference to read.
Thanks, Warren
