I wrote my own "pkgos-debpypi", though it's mainly aimed at OpenStack packages (actually, not using pybuild as a result, which is kind of controversial in itself). Piotr implemented something as well for creating package to use pybuild, but I can't remember the name. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)

Most of the useful resources about python packaging for Debian are either 10 years old or are blogposts living outside Debian wiki.. I can imagine that for a newcomer it is kind of complicated to start packaging python software. There must be some easy py2deb stuff giving you almost ready debian package,(that's what stdeb is doing to some extent), but again the documentation is sparse and output of stdeb is sometimes scary :) I know, if you need it, just implement it, but may be I am missing some already available tools.

packaging manual for a beginner
Hi Debian Python folks, Is there a good entry point for a newbie who wants to package a python module? I am looking for a tool similar to dh-make-perl. In the past I've been using stdeb as far as I remember, but it is somehow painful compared to other dh-make-x helpers. A link with step-by-step instructions would be also helpful. Sorry but I am unable to find Debian documentation suitable for a newcomer. Thank you, Alex
