I am trying to package lightblue.sf.net, which does the following during installation: piper:.> python ./setup.py install --prefix=debian/python-lightblue/usr --no-compile running install running build running build_py running build_ext running install_lib creating debian/python-lightblue creating debian/python-lightblue/usr creating debian/python-lightblue/usr/lib creating debian/python-lightblue/usr/lib/python2.4 creating debian/python-lightblue/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages copying build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.4/_lightblueutil.so -> debian/python-lightblue/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages copying build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.4/_obexutil.so -> debian/python-lightblue/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages creating debian/python-lightblue/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/lightblue copying build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.4/lightblue/_obex.py -> debian/python-lightblue/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/lightblue copying build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.4/lightblue/__init__.py -> debian/python-lightblue/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/lightblue copying build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.4/lightblue/obex.py -> debian/python-lightblue/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/lightblue copying build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.4/lightblue/_discoveryui.py -> debian/python-lightblue/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/lightblue copying build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.4/lightblue/_lightbluecommon.py -> debian/python-lightblue/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/lightblue copying build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.4/lightblue/_lightblue.py -> debian/python-lightblue/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/lightblue As you can see, it installs compiled .so files, making the package dependent on the python ABI, 2.4 in this case. How am I to deal with packages like this?
