Hi,
I've just published a very small library that does three things so far:
* Provides a mapping between python project names and Debian
binary/source package names
* Converts setuptools versions to Debian versions while maintaining
sort order
* Can introspect an .egg-info directory to figure out the Debian
dependencies for use in the debian/control file. It can also
handle/understand extras (I Hope!)
It's basically an attempt to find a common ground between all the
projects doing automated Python->Debian packaging. I have a feeling
everyone is re-implementing this code all the time.
The code is here:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/van.pydeb/
And an example of direct use in a packaging situation with complex dependencies
is here:
http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/pkg-zope/zope.component/trunk/debian/rules?view=markup
