Fix bug in our specification of data_files....

Fix bug in our specification of data_files. As best I can tell, we've been mis-specifying data_files for ages. For some reason with a plain setup.py it worked fine, but using a customized cmdclass for build_py, the error shows up. The problem was that we were returning a list of triples for data_files, and the spec clearly says they must be pairs: http://docs.python.org/distutils/setupscript.html?highlight=data_files#installing-additional-files
