Hi Philippe! Please use Debian New Maintainer's Guide¹ as a starting point. For Python-specific things, check the “Python Packaging” page² or a similar article in the Ubuntu Packaging Guide³.
If you want a tool that will generate most of the needed files for you, take a look at pydsc (available in “python-stdeb” package) or at pkgme⁴. I haven’t used these tools myself, so I don't know how well do they do their job.
