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/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages, and move them to the
shared Python modules location. It will 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 used to determine the
python versions with which the package can work.
Appropriate dependencies on python-support, python and python
X.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. It also excludes them from byte-compilation. You may use this
option multiple times to build up a list of things to exclude.
