How do I have setup.py include ptl files during the install?

[OT Is there a searchable list archive?]

I put

        data_files = [('', ['realtime/forms.ptl', 'realtime/qcal.ptl',
                'realtime/ui.ptl', 'realtime/pages.ptl'])]

in setup.py, but this sticks the ptl files in /usr.  According the the
disutils docs, an empty string for the directory puts them in the
target directory, which I expected would by
.../site-packages/realtime/.
