Hello From my point of view, the Debian packaging is ready as I mentioned last october.
Note that the project principles make it a bit unusual to package: the main setup.py file is for the python-vlc-generator project, which is used to generate the actual bindings from the include files. I update the generated bindings when I either make a change in the generator or a new VLC version is available, and the result, proper VLC bindings, is located in generated/3.0 directory, with a full package structure, proper setup.py, etc. So this directory should be the reference for building from source, or it could also be built from PyPI. Building the debian package, using the setup.py from PyPI or generated/3.0 - which are the same -, can then be achieved with: python setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command sdist_dsc --with-python2=true --with-python3=true bdist_deb The only issue I see is the naming: since my package is named python- vlc (in pypi) and stdeb prepends a python- prefix, it produces a python-python-vlc package (and there seems to be no option to fix this). I was waiting for some feedback from Sebastian. If the stdeb road is ok, and the naming issue is not blocking, it will be simpler to maintain. Else we could have to duplicate the packaging work.
