Doesn't Debian helper for Python do exactly this? 🤔

I thought that the dh_ tools are used as part of the rules for a package.

But i want to give the name of a package on PyPI and have the debian source package created.

I found the pypi2deb package but it does not work.

For example:

$ py2dsp xml-preferences
/usr/bin/py2dsp:163: DeprecationWarning: There is no current event loop
  loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
E: py2dsp py2dsp:167: 'releases'

The problem is that its loading meta data from PyPI and thinks there is a field called 'releases' but it does not exist.

I see the same issue with requests.

Is there a tool that does work?

Or is there a work flow I can follow turn a PyPI package into a debian package?
