Heyho! I'm fairly new to Python and absolutely new to packaging python stuff. So I'd be happy about a few comments [cc:s appreciated] or pointers to online resources (sorry, I'm working mostly offline, so I've not looked beyong the python policy.) My small application needs python3 (yes, I realize this is just in experimental.) -> python-central vs. python-support: is one generally preferred over the other, or is it just a matter of taste? Does either already support python3? At least python-support appeared not to (it tried to byte-compile with regular python despite the XS-Python-Version: >= 3.1 header being present. -> dh_python reports that I can delete it if dh_pysupport is present. Python policy says to include both. dh_python manpage says dh_python is deprecated. -> Python policy is unclear: should XS-Python-Version be a field of the source or the binary package? XB-P-V is clearly on the binary package. -> Policy says I should ship my (private) modules in /usr/share/<appname>. How will Python find the modules? -> Minor nit: Both /usr/share/python/README.Debian and /usr/share/python3/README.Debian refer to /usr/share/doc/python2.3/; this shouuld probably be updated... (or better yet:: generated while building the package, so it won't be forgotten again?) Thanks for any comments! cheers -- vbi -- featured link: Debian Bookmark Collection - http://bookmarks.debian.net/
