Re: How to prevent debhelper using Python 2



* Barry Warsaw <barry@python.org>, 2012-11-14, 13:17:
While working on the python3-sympy package, I've seen that if Python 2 is installed, various dh_* commands, like dh_auto_clean, will automatically try to run setup.py in Python 2. In this case, setup.py checks the Python version and fails. This isn't a problem when building in a clean environment like a buildd, but it's annoying when trying to build the package locally.
s/annoying .*/still an RC bug/.
Specifically, which RC bug?

I meant that package failing to build in a non-minimal environment (which was the case here, if I understood correctly) is an RC bug.

Sorry for not being clean.
