Just pass the arguments directly to sdist_dsc. It should be something like this:
python setup.py sdist_dsc --ignore-single-version-externally-managed --ignore-install-requires bdist_deb This is similar to other distutils cases. For example python setup.py build_ext --compiler=mingw32 --bdist_wininst Will do compilation using the mingw compiler and then build a .exe installer for Windows. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
