In Debian/Ubuntu, there is a specific debhelper for handling this -
After finding out the right way to go (I have never before packaged
anyghing that sounded Pythonesque), all I had to do was adding
"dh_pysupport /usr/share/cherokee/admin" to the binary-common target
of the main Makefile we use for packaging (debian/rules).
(explanation might only be interesting for other people involved in
repackaging Cherokee, or other Python stuff)
This might seem kludgy, but it's the right way to go - As far as I
could read into this, what this helper does is _not_ byte-compiling at
build time, but at install time on each of the users' systems. This is
because Debian ships different versions of Python (currently, 2.4 and
2.5), and each user might choose to install either (or both), so
dh_pysupport byte-compiles to whatever the user... uses.
The compiled modules are also registered, so if an ABI bump is
introduced, all of the Python modules are recompiled. And, of course,
they are all purged together with the source files upon upgrade/purge.
