=== setup.py (Python3, GUI)

Here is an example of creating a simple Debian package from a Python3 GUI program using the *setup.py* as its build system.

This upstream is based on <<setup-py>> with enhanced GUI, desktop icon, and manpage support.

Let's assume this upstream tarball to be *debhello-1.3.tar.gz*.

Let's get the source and make the Debian package.

.Download *debhello-1.3.tar.gz*
----
include::../debhello-1.3-pkg1/step000.slog[]
----

Here are the upstream sources.

.*hello* (v=1.3)
----
include::../debhello-1.3-pkg1/step101.slog[]
----

.*hello_py/\_\_init__.py* (v=1.3)
----
include::../debhello-1.3-pkg1/step102.slog[]
----

.*setup.py* (v=1.3)
----
include::../debhello-1.3-pkg1/step103.slog[]
----

.*MANIFEST.in* (v=1.3)
----
include::../debhello-1.3-pkg1/step104.slog[]
----

Let's package this with the *debmake* command.  Here, the *-b\':py3'* option is used to specify that the generated binary package contains Python3 script and module files.

----
sys::[head -n12  ../debhello-1.3-pkg1/step200.slog]
...
----

The result is practically the same as in <<setup-py>>.

Let's make this Debian package better as the maintainer.

.*debian/rules* (maintainer version, v=1.3):
----
include::../debhello-1.3-pkg1/step301.slog[]
----

.*debian/control* (maintainer version, v=1.3):
----
include::../debhello-1.3-pkg1/step302.slog[]
----

Please note the manually added *python3-gi* and *gir1.2-gtk-3.0* dependencies.

Since this upstream source has a manpage and other files with matching entries in the *setup.py* file, there is no need to create them and add the *debian/install* and *debian/manpages* files that were required in <<setup-py>>.

The rest of the packaging activities are practically the same as in <<setup-py>>.

Here is the generated dependency list of *debhello_1.3-1_all.deb*.
