In my setup.py I have my own "install":

from distutils.command.install import install
...
class myinstall(install):
...

and when we call dpkg-buildpackage this local "install" seems to maybe be causing the problem with the error: option --single-version-externally-managed not recognized.

How can we make this option be recognized? Do we need to inherit something from setuptools?

Ok, I found how to control the python version: XS-Python-Version

So now it is using python2.5 but dpkg-buildpackage hits an error:
error: option --single-version-externally-managed not recognized

What is this option?
I've been searching but I don't find how to solve this.
Is there a way to fix this?

Ok, I have a setup.py that imports stdeb and creates a 'bdist_deb' command. The entire thing is working except for the last subcommand for dpkg-buildpackage is trying to build for python2.4 and failing.

dpkg-buildpackage fails in the fakeroot...
...
debian/rules build
python2.4 -c "import setuptools,sys;f='setup.py';sys.argv[0]=f;execfile(f,{'__file__':f,'__name__':'__main__'})" build
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in ?

import stdeb
ImportError: No module named stdeb
make: *** [build-python2.4] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2

Is this something to do with python versions?
So how do I limit the python versions for dpkg-buildpackage?

stdeb is 0.3
$ python -V
Python 2.5.2
