nobody protested back then (hope it wasn't due to misleading

Few weeks ago I started working on new dh_python that will support
PEP3147 (but also python2.X for those who will decide to use my helper
tool in Squeeze), but I was slowed down due to personal reasons.
Some things changed since my last dh_python mail (due to PEP3147), you
can guess some of them from pycompile[1] and pyclean[2] which are mostly
ready. Matthias will include them in python package (and backport my
tiny py_compile.py change[3] which was accepted upstream (thanks
Barry)).

I hope we'll use
/usr/lib/python3/<mod>
or paths like:
/usr/lib/python3/-3.2/foo
/usr/lib/python3/foo/3.2-3.4/bar.py
only, but for now[5] the only one that works is:
/usr/lib/python3.1/dist-packages/<mod>
[4] almost ready in pycompile, still waiting for
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0382/ (and 3147), though
I used these maintainer scripts in my python3-sqlalchemy package:
http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/python-modules/packages/sqlalchemy/trunk/debian/python3-sqlalchemy.postinst?revision=12597
http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/python-modules/packages/sqlalchemy/trunk/debian/python3-sqlalchemy.prerm?revision=12597
unfortunately python3.1 is hardcoded for as it's not in supported
versions yet
