I only use setup.py in order to build the executable for windows. It is not distributed and is not to be run on user systems. As such, I don't see any need in adjusting this to work for linux. Well, one could argue that this would give yet another way of "setting up" creepy in linux ( non debian based ) distributions ,but I don't really see the point. Can't you just ignore this ?

The build system for creating a Debian package is using it, so ignoring it is not an option for me. We build and install the files into the package using the information in setup.py.
Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
Ok, I see your point. I ll check your patch and will find a way to have it working for both.
@petterreinholdtsen are you stupid? setup.py only for building on windows. For linux you should run CreepyMain.py from creepy folder. See installation guides on http://www.geocreepy.com/
Please, don't talk like that. Apart from being plain wrong, this is no way to converse on a public forum.

Hi. The setup.py script do not work on Linux. There are three problems.
Would it be possibe to rewrite it to work on both Windows and Linux?
Also, perhaps the setup.py implementation can be changed to one that understand entry_point, to make it easier to install a wrapper to start the main program?
We disabled the parts that do not work on Debian, see https://sources.debian.net/patches/patch/creepy/1.4.1-3/06-linux-setup-py.patch/ for the patch we use there. It will break the Windows build, I guess, but I do not have a way to test it on Windows and wonder if you have any idea how to get a setup.py file that work on all the platforms you want it to work on.
