Hi there,
my AM pointed me at a possible error source in dh_python: the code in prerm skeleton[1] tries to delete all *.py[c|o] files of the appropriate package using xargs. The command used here might fail if the path of this file contains whitespaces. I mean I can hardly imagine a situation where a python package would contain blanks (and blanks in module names wouldn't work anyway)...
Can anyone think of an example where whitespaces in package's paths would be valid?
