It looks like this line in setup.py:

       package_dir = {'quixote':''},

Should instead be:

       package_dir = {'quixote':'.'},

At least, that was what the equivalent line in my PyCrust setup looked like
(though I've forgotten most of the details since I originally created it)
and making that change fixed the problem for me.
