I have a mixed C++/Python package. To install Python executable in this package, I've found it sufficient to do this:

• Add the Python source file to my_package/scripts
• Add an empty __init__.py file in my_package/scripts
• Make each of the Python files executable with chmod +x
• Add this to CMakeLists:

install(PROGRAMS
scripts/my_python_file.py
DESTINATION lib/${PROJECT_NAME} )

To me, this seems a lot easier than what the tutorial recommends with setup.cfg and setup.py but maybe I'm missing something.
