Re: How can I override module name in autopkgtest-pkg-python

[Emmanuel Arias <eamanu@yaerobi.com>]

I note that my last mail can be confuse

The use of debian/tests/pkg-python/import-name is deprecated.

But the use of debian/tests/autopkgtest-pkg-python.conf is

mentioned on man autodep8. So this can be used.

Hi,

Maybe this can be useful [0] but that is deprecated. You can create

debian/tests/autopkgtest-pkg-python.conf file and use import_name

variable to change the name. Here an example [1]

Simply write a suitable debian/tests/control file that uses

import blis; print(blis)

instead of

import cython_blis; print(cython_blis)

See here for an example:
https://salsa.debian.org/3dprinting-team/libarcus/-/blob/master/debian/tests/control

Although, it looks like this sort of trivial autopkgtest is now
considered "superficial" and will no longer reduce the time until a
package is autopromoted to testing.
