Hello, * Jonathan Thomas <jonathan.oomph@gmail.com>, 2009-12-15, 13:16:
I have done my best to package the MLT Python bindings (which were generated using Swig), and I have published to my own PPA<https://launchpad.net/%7Ejonoomph/+archive/openshot-edge>(hosted on LaunchPad). I am fairly certain that my build script needs to be improved. For example, I never could figure out how to copy the MLT Python bindings to the /site-packages/ folder, so I created a postinst file... which can't be the best way.
Right, that's not event an acceptable way. Those files don't need to be installed into /site-packages/, python-support should take care to put them in the right place once you remove maintainer scripts and the DEB_PYTHON_INSTALL_ARGS_ALL line from debian/rules.
Anyway, these bindings should not have a separate source package. Just ask mlt maintainers (preferably via a bug report) to build binary package with Python bindings out of their source.
