DH_PYSUPPORT
Section: python-support (1)
Updated: 2010-09-14
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 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. It also excludes
them from byte-compilation. You may use this option multiple times to
build up a list of things to exclude.
