Which "python packaging guide" do you refer to? A search for "debian python packaging guide" does not return unambiguous results. Your difficulties almost certainly stem from you having set wrong build-dependencies. The correct build-dependencies here are 'python-all-dev, python3-all-dev' - plus the python2 and python3 versions of any other modules needed at build time. You should, e.g., never be build-depending on python2.7-dev without a very good reason, and if you build-depend on libpython3.6-dev this will obviously not give you python3.5 support. If there is a python packaging guide suggesting that these sort of build dependencies are appropriate, we should certainly get that corrected. Since this package is in collab-maint, I've gone ahead and pushed fixed python3 support to the repo. > For now I have uploaded the package with python2 support, only, as this also > the only one needed for Calibre (which is python2 application). > If you have any suggestion concerning the python3 packaging part, please > let me know how this should be done.
