you can use either dh_pysupport or dh_python2, passing --with python2 to dh sequencer (which you use) will disable (default) dh_pysupport > I created a python-helloworld example package ( get it from > https://code.launchpad.net/~toabctl/+junk/python-helloworld ) and want > to know if i used the correct way to package a simple python module. please also take a look at py2dsc script (from python-stdeb package) > questions are: > - are the package dependencies correct or do i need some more substvars? ${python:Depends} is enough > - what exactly should do dh_python2 and do i need both, dh_pysupport > _and_ dh_python2? i just found the manpage and [1] as dh_python2 > documentation and don't exactly understand why i need dh_python2. dh_python2 does the same thing dh_pysupport does, but in a differen't way, see NOTES in dh_python2 manpage¹ > - How should i install the python module if i don't have a setup.py . i > use the debian/install file and just copy all files > to /usr/share/pyshared/helloworld . is this correct? both helpers will pick these files up, with dh_python2 you can also use debian/python-helloworld.pyinstall file (I will document it in the manpage this weekend, for now, see debian-python thread²) PS please ask on debian-python@l.d.o next time [¹] http://deb.li/dhp2 [²] http://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2010/11/msg00063.html -- Piotr Ożarowski Debian GNU/Linux Developer www.ozarowski.pl www.griffith.cc www.debian.org GPG Fingerprint: 1D2F A898 58DA AF62 1786 2DF7 AEF6 F1A2 A745 7645 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
