Talk:Py2deb
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/<package name>/...). extract with:
cd ..; mkdir src; cd src; tar xzvf ../<package name>/dist/<package name>.tar.gz
create build_myapp.py script like described here.
