[python] Please check the build output because it will probably provide a hint about what went wrong.

[python] Build output:
[python] 
[python] Running from numpy source directory.
[python] `setup.py bdist` is not supported
[python] Add `--force` to your command to use it anyway if you must (unsupported).

Is there a suggested way around this, or is it an oversight/bug?

Edit: 1.10.4 still builds fine.

What’s the latest development on this? It would be fantastic to be able to use py2deb to package create fresh versions of numpy instead of running on superold versions.

Hello @njsmith Is there any update on this? I am facing a production issue with it, do you have any suggestions on how to unblock and use Numpy with py2deb?

I tried adding bdist to the whitelist of commands and using my own version of Numpy but it still fails due to the same error, don’t know if I am missing something here, Your help would be appreciated.
