Hi all, I am trying to build a debian package for my python modules using stdeb and dpkg-buildpackage. The package building itself works, I also managed to have an entry point created and I can use my python modules on the Ubuntu virtual machine I use to test the package.
The problem is that my modules require the psycopg2 python package and the entry point seems to require setuptools. I can't figure out how to declare a dependency that actually results in the dependency Debian packages being installed. I tried adding these lines to setup.py: requires = ['psycopg2', 'setuptools'], requires = ['psycopg2 (>=0.1)', 'setuptools (>=0.1)'], install_requires = ['psycopg2', 'setuptools'], install_requires = ['psycopg2>=0.1', 'setuptools>=0.1'], and then run stdeb_run_setup and dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us in the deb_dist/<package name> folder created, but when I copy the .deb file over to the virtual machine and do dpkg -i <.deb file>, none of them would actually install psycopg2 and setuptools. What am I doing wrong ? Am I actually somewhat on the right track or am I doing complete nonsense ? Thanks for your help! Cheers, Steve -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
