thanks -- I will check it out. I am subscribed only to scipy-dev so haven't spotted it (but there was an echo of it on numfocus ML) But now I have mentioned that I have forgotten to actually post [1]: [1] Halchenko, Y. O.

Lucas' packaging-tutorial is quite nice but IMHO for 1/2 hour introduction into packaging tutorial should be more concise and more specific toward common situations with Python modules/extensions/apps packaging. But I would advise to repeat a few times that the first pre-requisite toward easy packaging is for the project to follow the standard procedures, i.e. using distutils (setuptools) and having a working setup.py, having clear specification of copyright/license terms and dependencies. Additional benefit -- having a good collection of unittests to be enabled at build time. With those ideas in the pocket, in 90% of the cases the basic packaging would be quite easy thanks to dh+dh_python[23] bundle. -- Yaroslav O.
