Debian – Strip scripts from pybuild

I need to build a debian package from a python package.
The python package is not under my control so i can not easily change the setup.py file.
It is using setuptools and has a very standard setup.py containing
scripts. But for my resulting debian package i don’t want any of the scripts included.

setup(
  ...
  scripts=glob.glob(os.path.join('examples', '*.py')),
  ...
)

I tried to use --install-scripts=/dev/null but since it is in a debian build that means they are still in the package as ./dev/null/script.py.

Is there a way to control the setuptools install to suppress/omit the scripts or do i need to remove them from the setup.py via some sed magic?

    A solution is to set and restore before and after the build

    export PYBUILD_BEFORE_BUILD=sed -i '/scriptss*=/d' setup.py
export PYBUILD_AFTER_INSTALL=git checkout setup.py

    Drawbacks are that I actually need to sed things out of the setup.py. Im looking very much for a cleaner solution.

    export _SETUPTOOLS_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS=NO

    import os

if os.environ.get('_SETUPTOOLS_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS') == 'NO':
   scripts = []
else:
   scripts = glob.glob(os.path.join('examples', '*.py'))

setup(
    ...
    scripts=scripts,
    ...
)

    unset _SETUPTOOLS_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS
