create .deb package by python setup.py

Question

i want create .deb package for my python program. i create setup.py and it works well, but when I want to create a debian package using setup.py and stdeb I get an error.

the commands I use to create .deb:

first:

python3.4 setup.py sdist

then:

python3.4 setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command bdist_deb

but get error

dpkg-buildpackage: warning: build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied;  aborting
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: (Use -d flag to override.)

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 19, in <module>

I use these options in setup.py:

packages=['myapp', 'myapp.models', 'myapp.classes', 'myapp.functions'],
package_data={'': ['myapp.conf']},
data_files=[('/usr/local/bin/', ['myapp/myapp_run.py']),
            ('/usr/local/etc/myapp', ['myapp/myapp.conf'])],
install_requires=['setproctitle', 'psycopg2', 'psutil']

and my project directory is like:

|  setup.py
|- myapp 
        |  __init__.py
        |- classes
                  | __init.py
                  | ...
        | ...
        | myapp_run.py
        | myapp.conf
