No apologies are necessary. I was just trying to explain that I (and possibly others) did not understand. Your clarification has helped greatly. >> > II. What are the specificities for DEB packages?

Maybe distutils can't handle build >distribution for this platform? Or maybe it is simply undocumented? I know this does not directly answer your question, but are you able to build an RPM? You can use the utility 'alien' to convert an RPM to a .deb >Of the three links you provided, two were in my original question... >The third link's answer only contains a link to another source from my >original question... :( Whoops, sorry about that. Sadly, this as much help as I can provide. Again, I suggest you take this to the main python list. You are more likely to receive the help you desire there.
