Run a ready to go Python project
#1
I am sorry for such trivial question. I have downloaded a Python project from github. I ran setup.py file as:

python setup.py --install

and

python setup.py --build

I guess these were commands that I've ran, because now I have build folder. In this folder I have another two folders: bdist.win32 and lib. bdist.win32 is empty and lib has few files, including __init__.py and util.py.

My question is, how can I run this Python project ? Don't get me wrong, but what should I searching for in order to run the main project ?

Another question: what is for bdist.win32 folder ? Is empty right now, but I saw that was generated though ...

I depend on the project,it's usually some documentation.

This is the old way we used before,now is pip most used and are distributed at PyPi,often in cooperation with a GitHub,BitBucket..ect Repo.
If shall use this method it usually documented in in Repo.
If post link to Repo,then can we look at it.
