I'm working on creating a package for a software that's built for GNOME GTK4 +
Libadwaita using Python. The problem is that the software uses a lot of
dependencies mostly python libraries that aren't on debian but only on pip. I
need these libraries to be put into debian/control.
Since they aren't on debian, how do I proceed with this?
If a required library isn't in Debian, the process is to package it
first, and then use it for your higher-level package.
The missing packages are:
• Python Pillow
This is definitely in Debian, under the name python3-pil.
The general rule is that if you would write "import Foobar" in your
Python code, then the Debian package is named python3-foobar. Reference:
https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/
• ODFpy (python library)
Looks like python3-odf is probably this
• PyICU (python library)
Looks likely to be python3-icu
• Openai (python lib)
Probably python3-openai?
• LibSpelling (by GNOME)
gir1.2-spelling-1, which you can use via python3-gi
• Youtube-Transcript-API (python library)
• MarkItDown (python lib)
• DuckDuckGo-search (python lib)
These don't seem to be in Debian, if they're mandatory dependencies then
either you or someone else will need to package them first.
