Python-stdeb

This is what i've done, to make a shiny python library of mine becomes a fully respectable deb package. Move in your python directory, where everything has been started and create your setup.py file, more or less like this sample:
So, in your directory you list:
Create the stdeb configuration file stdeb.cfg
This file will write parameters in the soon generated DEBIAN/control file. A complete list of the parameters translation is here: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/stdeb#stdeb-cfg-configuration-file
Given that, build your package with:
NOTE: It will compile the package with mypylib-"version"; the version is the one written in setup.py (version="")

enjoy your deb_dist directory.
