          'whatever_production_scripts/production/changeinstancetype.py',
      ],
      packages=[
          'whatever_production_scripts',
          'whatever_production_scripts.production',
      ],
      classifiers=[
          "Development Status :: 3 - Alpha",
          "Intended Audience :: System Administrators",
          "Operating System :: POSIX :: Linux",
          "Topic :: Internet",
          "Topic :: System :: Systems Administration",
          "Programming Language :: Python :: 3 :: Only"
      ],
      install_requires=[
          'privatepackage1>=0.1',
          'publicpackage1>=7',
          'publicpackage2>=2'
      ],
      zip_safe=False)
