Re: How to use equivs-build for creating deb from python app
The light (of knowledge) is better here.
You shouldn't be using equivs to debianize something from raw source. Either use dh-make or debmake from upstream, then fill in the templates provided. If you have a pure Python package, the correct architecture is "all" for your package. The standard tiny debhelper file should work with a ".configure, make, make install" procedure. I guess your package doesn't have the python.setup and egginfo files, those should have a dh-python type of build.
