About the video
Creating a program with python is fun; but how do you share it with other users running Linux? Since not everyone is technically experienced enough to install python, all required python-modules, the program itself and make an menu entry for it, this wiki will help show you how to do this. The video shows you how to make an ready-to-doubleklick, self-installed debian-package (.deb) from your python program.
Technical information
The video was recorded and tested on a Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) System but should work on all Debian-based Linux Systems.
