Package: pyscrabble
Version: 1.6.2-3
Severity: important
User: [email protected]
Usertags: python2.6 dist-packages
Hi,
pyscrabble is built using the Python distutils mechanism.
Starting from Python 2.6, the installation paths for distutils have
changed. Instead of /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages, the default has
now changed to /usr/local.
The packaging helpers (debhelper, dh, cdbs, python-support,
python-central) will pick automatically these changes, or are being
fixed to do so. However, pyscrabble seems to do some manipulations in
the site-packages/ directory in its build process.
To fix this issue, the recommended approach is to pass
"--install-layout=deb" to the "python setup.py" invocation. This is
already the default if you use dh - or migrate to dh, which is also
recommended.
When you do that, modules are installed in
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages instead of site-packages. You have
then to either use a *-packages wildcard, or to use
/usr/share/python/python.mk which provides useful functions to
manipulate these directories.
Cheers,

Closing then.
