DH_PYSUPPORT

NAME

dh_pysupport − use the python−support framework to handle Python modules

SYNOPSIS

dh_pysupport [debhelper options] [−V X.Y] [−X item [...]] [−n] [module dirs ...]

DESCRIPTION

dh_pysupport is a debhelper program that will scan your package, detect public modules in /usr/share/python−support and generate appropriate postinst/prerm scripts to byte-compile modules installed there for all available python versions.

It will also look for private Python modules and will byte-compile them with the current Python version. You may have to list the directories containing private Python modules.

If a file named debian/pyversions exists, it is installed in /usr/share/python−support/$PACKAGE/.version.

Appropriate dependencies on python-support, python and pythonX.Y are put in ${python:Depends}. The ${python:Versions} and ${python:Provides} optional substitution variables are made available as well.

OPTIONS

module dirs

If your package installs private python modules in non-standard directories, you can make dh_pysupport check those directories by passing their names on the command line. By default, it will check /usr/lib/$PACKAGE, /usr/share/$PACKAGE, /usr/lib/games/$PACKAGE and /usr/share/games/$PACKAGE

−n, −−noscripts

Do not modify postinst/postrm scripts.

−d

This option is deprecated.

−V X.Y

Force private modules to be bytecompiled with the specific X.Y python version, regardless of the default python version on the system.

−X item, −−exclude=item

Exclude files that contain "item" anywhere in their filename from being taken into account to generate the python dependency. You may use this option multiple times to build up a list of things to exclude.

CONFORMS TO

Python policy as of 2006−08−10
