Hi Jibo
 Making a deb installer for a working python project is easy with
quickly. You need to use the ubuntu-cli template and drop you files
into the folder it creates. This template uses only 4 files. Assume
you want to create the foo project

quickly create ubuntu-cli foo

then you get a loader file foo -  don't touch this. It will become
/usr/bin/foo after installation

A directory foo containing __init__.py and foo_config.py. If you want
you can ignore foo_config.py

The interesting file is __init__.py which contains def main()

the loader file will call main() and you are up and running.
Lastly a setup.py file, edit this to contain a project description.

Assuming your project contains a file like this

def do_ this():
     # do something

def do_ that():
     # do something else

if __name__=="__main__":
    do_ this()
    do_ that()

change it to

def do_ this():
     # do something

def do_ that():
     # do something else

def main():
    do_ this()
    do_ that()

and rename it __init__.py
