Well, if you want to create a .deb package to distribute your library, you are going to also need to create a .deb package for the libraries you are depending on, because apt has no way of depending on packages from PIP. So if you only package your own app, nobody will be able to install it because apt won't know how to install the dependencies. > Not sure if I need to explicitly declare these > dependencies while creating package Yes, you will need to explicitly declare all your dependencies when you are creating the package, otherwise apt won't ensure that all your dependencies are present on the system, and then the situation you'll run into is that people will install your app, and it won't work because it's dependencies are missing, but the system won't realize that anything is missing. > I am struggling with how to package all this.

So a good start would be here: http://wiki.debian.org/Courses2005/BuildingWithoutHelper#Creating_Debian_specific_files That is a good overview of the different files needed in the debian/ directory and what their contents should look like. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
Building a python application
Greetings, I am trying very hard to find the right platform to get answers for some my questions. Apologize in advance if this is not appropriate forum. Tried posting questions at stackoverflow and ubuntu packaging/compiling programs forum with no luck. I am building a open source python notes application and would eventually like to make it available in ubuntu software repository if at all possible when its ready. I know there are many such applications but they were lacking something. This application uses Webkit as rendering engine and markdown templates for writing notes. I am still working on the application to follow ubuntu application guidelines and make it as complete as possible. If you are curious, application is available at github My python code depends upon some python libraries, some of which are part ubuntu repository and I could install them using apt-get. There are other libraries which are not part of the repository and had to install using python PIP. So far I have been very careful not to depend upon something which has non open source license, so all the libraries are open source libraries. Additionally I have dependency on Webkit 3 and GTK. Not sure if I need to explicitly declare these dependencies while creating package I am struggling with how to package all this. All the tutorial I came across did not cover this point. If someone can point me to right documents for creating PPA for python applications, especially covering the parts about dependencies, it will be great.
