In fact Olivier Hervieu was kind enough to send me a patch with a 
rewritten setup.py. This new setup.py makes it possible to install 
Yokadi correctly (with python setup.py install) so it should solve 
packager troubles as well.

I am guilty of not having integrated his work yet :/. The only blocker 
is that the patch needs to move all yokadi code inside a subdir, so that 
setup.py can install it in the "site-packages" dir of your Python 
installation. In his patch, Olivier used PyYokadi as a dirname, which I 
did not like very much, so I wanted to find a nicer name before applying 
it (We can't use Yokadi as a name because this would mean the yokadi.py 
script would do "import Yokadi", producing nice recursive imports under 
Windows I am afraid).
