Hello,
have you just seen distribute guide - which is just an update fork of
the original setuptools distribution - or did you check out this as
well?:

Surely the setuptools/distribute fork has been painful so far, but
I've just read through the Distribute doc for the first time and I have
a few comments.
First, I just want to say that the state of python packaging is a sad
morass. It's not easy for someone to sort out
distutils/setuptools/distribute to figure out how to get a package built
and released on

Why? It makes a difference as to what the best way to do it is.
For example, if you're planning to install a Python application or

What exactly is the error? Can you post the traceback or other error?
python-support should resolve this reference at .
What is the expected work flow around package dependencies between
python packages and debs in stdeb?
I was expecting it to declare any deb dependencies found, then translate
any python dependencies into the names they would have if those pypi

If we are having this much trouble deciding how a third party tool

This would be a problem if distribute were in general release. It's not.
It's clearly a development branch which is intended to move quickly.
No, this is incorrect. The 0.6-branch is not intended to move quickly,

If we're honest with ourselves, it's not for experienced developers

The other way would be to use Distribute instead of Setuptools for
