This remark was not targeted at "PollyReports" but (in general) at packages
with non-trivial installation procedures which nevertheless
state on the overview page "for installation
read the separate installation instructions (in the source distribution)".
As a side note: playing well with python package managers
("easy_install", "pip", "zc.buildout", ...) could make it even
simpler than "sudo python setup.py install".
