Hi,
I just finished packaging scipy (www.scipy.org). Scipy uses a pretty
complicated setup.py file that manages running f2py, compiling f77
code, compiling several helper modules (including a patched copy of
Numeric), etc.
Most of the python modules I have seen packaged for debian use a
makefile rather than setup.py. I really don't want to rewrite the
complicated build logic into a makefile.
What is the best way to use the setup.py in the debian/rules?
Here are some fragments from the debian/rules file I have so far. It
seems to work, but any suggestions would be appreciated.

cd debian/scipy && tar zxvf ../../dist/SciPy-0.2.0.linux-*.tar.gz
