shared __init__.py file accross multiple python packages
Hello,
I'm trying to roll up my first debian packages, and I could do with some
advice (please refer me to the right piece of documentation if I appear
to have missed it).
I'm actually packaging several (8) python modules that are to live in a
common subdirectory of /usr/lib/pythonX.X/site-packages/. They all share
an empty __init__.py file in this common subdirectory. From what I
understand, this means that if nothing is done, they will conflict.
What appears to be a standard solution is to have another package
provide the shared files, and make the other modules depend on this new
package. Now, here's the naive question: what's the right way of doing
this? Should I create the common dependency in one of the source
packages, or create a new source package with the required file? Or
something else?
Thanks for your patience.
