stdeb

stdeb is a Python utility that extends distutils to simplify the creation of Debian source packages from Python packages. It provides new distutils commands (like `sdist_dsc`, `bdist_deb`) and command-line utilities (like `pypi-install`, `py2dsc`) to automate the conversion process. While it attempts to provide sensible defaults, many aspects of the resulting Debian package can be customized via a configuration file. The library maintains a regular release cadence, with version 0.11.0 released in September 2025, continuing active development and support for modern Python versions.
