NAME

python-mkdebian - Generate a suitable Debian source package for a standard distutils application

SYNOPSIS

python-mkdebian [options]

DESCRIPTION

This script generates a reasonably Debian Policy compliant Debian source package for a Python application that uses distutils properly. It assumes that there are no public Python modules, and generates just a single application binary package.

Information is taken from setup.py's generated .egg-info file: author, project name, description, version, upstream source, license, and required and provided Python modules (which are translated to Debian python library package names, and automatically added as package dependencies).

It generates a simple cdbs/python-support rules file.

python-mkdebian was designed to be used with the DistUtilsExtra.auto module, which calculates required Python dependencies automatically. However, it makes no explicit assumptions about DistUtilsExtra, so if setup.py has complete information it will work with any distutils setup.
