Building a python application

[Niranjan Rao]

Greetings,

I am trying very hard to find the right platform  to get answers for 
some my questions. Apologize in advance if this is not appropriate 
forum. Tried posting questions at stackoverflow and ubuntu 
packaging/compiling programs forum with no luck.

I am building a open source python notes application and would 
eventually like to make it available in ubuntu software repository if at 
all possible when its ready. I know there are many such applications but 
they were lacking something. This application uses Webkit as rendering 
engine and markdown templates for writing notes.  I am still working on 
the application to follow ubuntu application guidelines and make it as 
complete as possible. If you are curious, application is available at github

My python code depends upon some python libraries, some of which are 
part ubuntu repository and I could install them using apt-get. There are 
other libraries which are not part of the repository and had to install 
using python PIP.  So far I have been very careful not to depend upon 
something which has non open source license, so all the libraries are 
open source libraries. Additionally I have dependency on Webkit 3 and 
GTK. Not sure if I need to explicitly declare these dependencies while 
creating package

  I am struggling with how to package all this. All the tutorial I came 
across did not cover this point. If someone can point me to right 
documents for creating PPA for python applications, especially covering 
the parts about dependencies, it will be great.

Thanks,

Niranjan
