I guess it would work by adding it to /usr/share/python/debian_defaults.
I'm still not sure how to test other python versions than the default.
Do I change the python symlink and then compile, or is there a better
way, maybe with an option to setup.py? Is this what python-all-dev is
for, so that if I depend on that instead of python-dev then it will
automatically test building against all supported versions?
The same question for installation testing too, although here I think
the only option is to change the symlink. If there's a better way,
please let me know.
Thanks,
Cameron
