Hi Norbert,

Let me try answering your second question, about tests.

Something like this should do the trick:

- Add run_tests.py and the tests themselves to debian/pybuild.testfiles,
  to make pybuild copy them to the build directory.

- Add override_dh_auto_test target with a command like this:
  dh_auto_test -- --system custom --test-args "{interpreter} run_tests.py"

Then pybuild will take care of running the tests with all supported
interpreters, each one in its own directory, and cleaning up after that.

See pybuild(1) for details.
