A guide for mining efficiently on P2Pool, includes FUD repellent and FAQ If it is any help to you, the script I use on my linux machine reads:
screen -d -m -S btcp2pool ~/code/p2pool/run_p2pool.py --irc-announce --outgoing-conns 10 --address yourbitcoinaddressforfeestogoto --fee 0 --give-author .5 --net bitcoin bitcoinuser bitcoinpassword
Obviously, replace the address with your own if you have a fee. Since I have --fee 0 at the moment I might not even need --address. The "bitcoinuser" and "bitcoinpassword" are the rpcuser and rpcpassword set in your bitcoin.conf file.
