    <p>I wrote a quick program in python to add a gtk GUI to a cli program. I was wondering how I can create an installer using distutils. Since it's just a GUI frontend for a command line app it only works in *nix anyway so I'm not worried about it being cross platform.</p> <p>my main goal is to create a .deb package for debian/ubuntu users, but I don't understand make/configure files. I've primarily been a web developer up until now.</p> <p>Thanks for your help!</p> <p><strong>edit</strong>: Does anyone know of a project that uses distutils so I could see it in action and, you know, actually try building it?</p> <h2>Here are a few useful links</h2> <ul> <li><p><a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Python" rel="noreferrer">Ubuntu Python Packaging Guide</a></p> <p>This Guide is <strong><em>very</em></strong> helpful. I don't know how I missed it during my initial wave of gooling. It even walks you through packaging up an existing python application</p></li> <li><p><a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/GettingStarted" rel="noreferrer">The Ubuntu MOTU Project</a></p> <p>This is the official package maintaining project at ubuntu. Anyone can join, and there are lots of tutorials and info about creating packages, of all types, which include the above 'python packaging guide'.</p></li> <li><p><a href="http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/96509133/m/808004952931" rel="noreferrer">"Python distutils to deb?" - Ars Technica Forum discussion</a></p> <p>According to this conversation, you can't just use distutils. It doesn't follow the debian packaging format (or something like that). I guess that's why you need dh_make as seen in the Ubuntu Packaging guide</p></li> <li><p><a href="http://osdir.com/ml/linux.debian.devel.python/2004-10/msg00013.html" rel="noreferrer">"A bdist_deb command for distutils</a></p> <p>This one has some interesting discussion (it's also how I found the ubuntu guide) about concatenating a zip-file and a shell script to create some kind of universal executable (anything with python and bash that is). weird. Let me know if anyone finds more info on this practice because I've never heard of it.</p></li> <li><p><A href="http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2000-May/001000.html" rel="noreferrer">Description of the deb format and how distutils fit in - python mailing list</a></p></li> </ul>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
