How do I package and add my Python app to my launchpad repository?

I have a launchpad account and an activated ppa but I have no idea how to package my app and upload. I write programs with Python using Tkinter. May someone explain ?

You'll need to package your project into a .deb. Here's a good tutorial:

https://wiki.debian.org/Python/Packaging

And here is an example packaged app which has TKinter as a dependency:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/python-pil.imagetk
