Package: dh-python
Version: 2.20151103
Tags: patch

dh_python{2,3} only passes -X to pycompile for private dirs, meaning
that it doesn't exclude files from byte-compilation under dist-packages.

This is needed for upstreams that put .py files under dist-packages that
are not actually valid Python. For example, templates such as:

  
https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/conf/app_template/apps.py#L4

Workarounds, such as moving the files elsewhere would certainly *work*
but require patches to the upstream code to look in a different
location, etc.

Patch attached.
