In case you were wondering, [1] in the last message was referring to http://wiki.debian.org/Python/Packaging which claims, "Right now Python 3 modules/extensions are not built by dh so you have to modify your debian/rules file, we'll fix that before Wheezy release. (In CDBS v0.4.90 to support Python 3, you'll have to add include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/python3-distutils.mk line to debian/rules and python3-foo package(s) to debian/control. dh already invokes dh_python3 when you add --with python3 option, but it doesn't build modules/extensions for Python 3 yet." Unfortunately, it seems that either CDBS 0.4.90 nor 0.4.91 trees include this file. Google turns up a thread on debian-python where this file was introduced in an RFC patch[2], although there is no sign it was ever merged. Clearly I must be missing something here. - Ben [2] http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.python/6305 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
