Hello, recently i've been making some enhancements to py2dsp (part of pypi2deb[1] ); for those who dont know what that is, py2dsp is a tool that, given a PyPI project, will create an (initial) Debian source package.
[1] https://packages.qa.debian.org/p/pypi2deb.html I've just finished a patch that extend py2dsp to fetch the upstream tarball from GitHub instead; nowadays this is my preferred source for upstream tarballs, given it contains all the project files (not only the one published on pypi via sdist, often missing important files like tests, or doc sources, etc). it's currently available at the git branch at [2] (there's a PR open at [3]): [2] https://github.com/sandrotosi/pypi2deb/tree/morph [3] https://github.com/p1otr/pypi2deb/pull/27 once you cloned/checkout that branch, you can run: $ ./py2dsp --profile dpt --distribution unstable --revision 1 --github https://github.com/USER/PROJECT alternatively, you can specify an additional argument `<source name>`, if PROJECT is not the source name you want to use in Debian: $ ./py2dsp --profile dpt --distribution unstable --revision 1 --github https://github.com/USER/PROJECT <source name> and it will create the source package in the `result/` directory. Let me know if you find this useful and if there are issues/enhancement you'd like to see added/fixed.
