Thanks a lot. I would have never guessed that. Meanwhile, I found the following alternative approach in the README.rst [1]: dh_auto_test -- --system=custom --test-args='{interpreter} setup.py test' Your suggestion looks cleaner. If it works, I'll use it. If not, I'll stick to the approach above as it actually works. Took me forever to figure this all out. I think this information could be added to the Pybuild page on the Debian wiki [2].
