Greetings!
I am the developer of OpenShot Video Editor (http://www.OpenShotVideo.com), a Python video editor based on the MLT framework. My goal is to get OpenShot included in the official Debian packages. But before OpenShot can be included, I need to get the Python bindings for MLT included in Debian. So, hopefully this mailing list is the right place to ask for help. =)

I have done my best to package the MLT Python bindings (which were generated using Swig), and I have published to my own PPA (hosted on LaunchPad). I am fairly certain that my build script needs to be improved. For example, I never could figure out how to copy the MLT Python bindings to the /site-packages/ folder, so I created a postinst file... which can't be the best way. I am very new to Debian packaging, so please forgive my ignorance.

Any advice on what I should do next would be appreciated. =)

Thanks in advance!
