I have been trying to build .deb packages for Debian from Python modules. After going through Debian's LibraryStyleGuide for Python, Pybuild and An Overview of Packaging for Python, I decided I am better off with something that streamlines the process for me. I found stdeb to be a popular choice. I tried building stdeb with itself according to this. Its giving me the following error:
python3 setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command bdist_deb

I found similar bugreports here and here but they seem to have been fixed and my system is up to date.
Here's my /proc/version it that helps:
Linux version 5.8.0-1parrot1-amd64 ([email protected]) (gcc-10 (Debian 10.2.0-5) 10.2.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.35) #1 SMP Debian 5.8.7-1parrot1 (2020-09-14)
Can someone tell me what the issue actually is and help me build it?
