Ok, I got the __file__ problem solved but now I want to do this whole

I'm thinking something like:
# my setup.py
import stdeb
Command(mycmd):
initialize_option...
finalize_option...
run
sub_commands=[('sdist_dsc', None),]
system('dpgk-source ...)
print ".deb is here..."
Would this work and is this how to do it?
Do you really need to run it directly from setup.py?
Yes.
Can't you run it
from a shell script or write a python script making lots of use of
subprocess? The reason I ask is that distutils isn't fun to extend, and
as you're already going to be running on a Debian-based system, I can't
see what's to be gained.
What you want to do is probably possible, but I don't have the
motivation to do it myself. I guess it could allow a bdist_deb option,
but IMO that's not particularly desirable -- the Debian source package
emitted by stdeb can be compiled for any Debian derivative for any
version (provided the dependencies are met)
Having a single command for .deb doesn't preclude stdeb from emitting
source package .dsc.
-- whereas the .deb will
only have defined behavior on the Debian/Ubuntu release on which it was
built.
Well of course, just like any other binary package target.
I don't see where there is any conflict.

Gerry
