usually python libraries are distributed with setuptools. If there is a setup.py in the folder, chances are, the following procedure works for creating package with py2deb: run python setup.py bdist_dumb this creates a tar.gz in dist/ with the tree of to be installed files (e.g. /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ /...). extract with: cd ..; mkdir src; cd src; tar xzvf ../ /dist/ .tar.gz create build_myapp.py script like described here.
