Spaces in file names make it impossible to package for Solaris 9 and 10 #134

@ghost

Description

Originally reported by: automatthias (Bitbucket: automatthias, GitHub: automatthias)


The script template.py file name causes packaging of setuptools to fail, because the Solaris 8, 9, and 10 package manager does not support file names with spaces: spaces are the column delimiter in its internal data files.
