>From the dh_python2 man page: dependencies dh_python2 tries to translate Python dependencies from requires.txt file to Debian dependencies. Use debian/pydist-overrides or --no-guessing-deps option to override it if the guess is incorrect. If you want dh_python2 to generate more strict dependencies (f.e. to avoid ABI problems) create debian/python-foo.pydist file. See /usr/share/doc/python-doc/README.PyDist (provided by python-doc package) for more information. If the pydist file contains PEP386 flag or set of (uscan like) rules, dh_python2 will make the depedency versioned (version requirements are ignored by default). >From the dh_python3 man page: dependencies dh_python3 tries to translate Python dependencies from requires.txt file to Debian dependencies. Use debian/py3dist-overrides or --no-guessing-deps option to override it if the guess is incorrect.

If the pydist file contains PEP386 flag or set of (uscan like) rules, dh_python3 will make the depedency versioned (version requirements are ignored by default). Both copies of README.PyDist (in python-doc and dh-python) seem to exist and be almost identical (main difference is that the dh-python version has a few extra words about Python 3 / dh_python3 related things which the python-doc version doesn't have). -- mithrandi, i Ainil en-Balandor, a faer Ambar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
