Debian Programming :: Packaging Shared Library With Python Wrapper

I have written a shared library and successfully used debhelper 9 to create a Debian package from source using a Makefile generated by cmake. I then went about writing a python wrapper to that library and wish to package that wrapper in with the library so I can have a single distributable rather than 2 separate ones.

All of my attempts so far have me placing my python source and a setup.py file in the same directory as the makefile at the time where I call debuild.

From here I have tried a couple different configurations to my debian/rules file as seen below:

Attempt 1:
# -*- makefile -*-
%:
dh $@ --with-python2 --buildsystem=python_distutils

This try seemed to package up the python stuff nicely but proceeded to ignore my makefile for the shared library and therefore ultimately failed.

Attempt 2:
# -*- makefile -*-
%:
dh $@ --with-python2

This try ran make, but completely ignored the python stuff. From some research I have gathered that the --buildsystem flag tells debuild to ignore any makefiles in the directory, which obviously causes a problem in my case.

Another attempt was to modify the build dependency to first run make and then call the python build process that file looked like this

Attempt 3:
# -*- makefile -*-

build:
dh $@
dh $@ --with-python2 --buildsystem=python_distutils
%:
dh $@ --with-python2 --buildsystem=python_distutils

This appears to somewhat work as both processes do build, but a few of the python files are still not getting installed.

Is this the way I should be going about doing this? I've noticed that most python wrappers tend to package themselves individually and then make that package dependent on the library it is attempting to wrap.
