After having wasted some more hours in trying to understand why I can't package data_files in the same directory of the python modules (see my previous post to the ML) I begin to believe I might have hit a bug in stdeb... In fact the setup.py script that I wrote works fine with python setup.py sdist (the tar.gz that is being generated has both my module and data file in the same directory) but it throws errors when I run: python setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command bdist_deb specifically it says: warning: install_data: setup script did not provide a directory for '' -- installing right in '/home/<mydirectory>/debian/python-<myapplicationname>/usr' error: can't copy '': doesn't exist or not a regular file in my setup.py: py_modules = ['src/prog'], data_files=['', ['src/data.yml']], so I believe stdeb is simply unable to understand that the empty string means "put the data file together with the module", the way the regular distutils can. Am I right? Any workaround to suggest? Thank you in advance, /mac
