Howdy all,
The Debian Python Policy, chapter 3
<URL:http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ch-programs.html>
says:
3.1.1 Programs Shipping Private Modules
A program using /usr/bin/python as interpreter can come up with
private Python modules. These modules should be installed in
/usr/share/module, or /usr/lib/module if the modules are
architecture-dependent (e.g. extensions).
/usr/lib/site-python is deprecated and should no longer be used
for this purpose.
But the Python distutils and setuptools will install the modules to
/usr/lib/site-python/. My 'debian/rules' already has a 'dh_pycentral'
line.
How can I best conform to the above policy?
The dumb way, I imagine, would be to manually install the foles to
those specific locations. I'm wondering what tools (e.g. debhelper)
support something better, and how to use them to conform to the
policy.
