Package: cdbs
Version: 0.4.87
Severity: important
Hello,
I am browsing documentation and source and it seems like
/usr/share/cdbs/1/class/python-distutils.mk
is somewhat stuck with python 2.5 where the site-packages
are part of the system path. With 2.6 this is no longer the
case but I want my python packages to be visible for all
without the need to
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages
Here the proof:
$ python2.6
Python 2.6.5+ (release26-maint, Jun 16 2010, 09:20:52)
[GCC 4.4.4] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys; print sys.path
['', '/usr/lib/python2.6', '/usr/lib/python2.6/plat-linux2',
'/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-old',
'/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages',
'/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/PIL', '/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6',
'/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/gtk-2.0',
'/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages']
If I am not erroneous, then the package should instead go to
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages by default. The following patch to
/usr/share/cdbs/1/class/python-distutils.mk has fixed this for me:

I run into this issue for everything that I package with
python-central. The python-support-run packages don't seem to be
affected. When you look up to the patch a bit, you see that in only
changes site-packages to dist-packages for the installation, and only
if the version of python is 2.6 or higher. The Debian Python Policy
almost verbatim states this on
http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ch-python.html
section 1.5 "Module Path".
I know about Policy. I just believed that it was already magically
taken care of, but now, double-checking with the Python packages I am
involved in myself, I see that they either are arch-independent or use
Autotools (not distutils).
I did wonder in the past how that explicit path in distutils.mk was so
magically handled correctly also with Python 2.6 and apparently it
really isn't after all. Your patch looks good and I'll apply it.
Thanks a lot!
Ha haaa - no, my former feeling was correct after all, and the problem
is another: python-nast emits the following crucial warning sduring
build:
pycentral: pycentral debhelper: missing XB-Python-Version attribute in package
python-nast
Add XB-Python-Version and XS-Python-Version to control file and it
works.
Oh, and it seems pynast is not arch-dependent after all. If so, you
should probably change to "Arch: all" in control file.
Piotr Ożarowski is the genius who dealt with the magical site-packages
vs. dist-packages issue for distutils.mk - a summary of what it does is
here: http://bugs.debian.org/565973#17
I will now close this as a non-bug. Please yell if you disagree.
Thanks anyway for the many details. :-)
Kind regards,
- Jonas
