Just to make sure, we are talking about the Distutils setup.py that's used to build distributions of Python applications, right? It might not be so useful to clone setup.py, since we'd probably want to make changes for each program, just because we'd probably label our programs with different names just to keep ourselves from getting confused. That is, technically, it's possible to call all our programs some generic name like "program.py", and to keep all our programs in separate subdirectories. And in that way, the same 'setup.py' could work on different applications. But still, I don't see this being done very often because people often like to use descriptive --- and varying --- names for their programs. In my own practice, I usually just write a setup.py from scratch (or copy a template), and customize it to the particular application that I'm packaging up. Does this make sense?
