ttx is now equivalent to:
$ fonttools ttx
pyftsubset can be called as:
$ fonttools subset
varLib can be called as:
$ fonttools.varLib
Also adds a executable at toplevel called fonttools, such that
with "./fonttools ..." one can run stuff without installing.
Python seems to automatically include ./Lib into its search path.
setuptools_scm handles managing python package versions using git metadata instead of declaring them as the version argument or in a git-managed file.

One notable absence was README.md... :)
For the testdata/*, I now use `include_package_data=True` in setup.py, to automatically install any data files found inside package directories that are also specified in MANIFEST.in file.
I also include the Snippets, which I think should belong to the source distribution, despite not being installed as console scripts like ttx, etc.
The MANIFEST.in does not need to include itself (done by default).
There's no point in installing the test modules if we don't also install the test data.
(BTW, all this stuff would not be necessary if we were to use 'setuptools_scm'
which would just include in the distribution all the files which are tracked by
git version control...)
The file contains outdated information and nobody is maintaining it any longer.
Plus it only works on Linux, and only if pip installing as sudo (which is bad!).
We need proper Sphinx+ReadTheDocs kind of documentation.
Python's stdlib
The 'xml.parsers.expat' module has been a part of Python's Standard Library since version 2.0. Link: https://docs.python.org/2/library/pyexpat.html#module-xml.parsers.expat . FontTools requires Python 2.7, or Python 3.3 or later. Checking for the existence of this module is not necessary anymore.
modify scripts to work as setuptools 'console_scripts', where the main
function takes no arguments;
add empty identifier "" in 'packages' argument of setup, to install the
standalone sstruct.py and xmlWriter.py for legacy support;
remove py2exe since it is made redundant by setuptools 'console_scripts';
remove custom 'build_ext' command since the eexecOpmodule.c is no longer
present.
Shame on MacPorts and Gentoo for not forwarding this change.
