Thank you. In case anyone wants to see my fumbling, I'm attempting to resolve Debian bug#1152592 <URL: https://bugs.debian.org/1152592>. > However, we don't normally want to rebuild the documentation for each > supported version of the interpreter - we'd only ship one version of > the docs. We normally only build the documentation against the default > interpreter (i.e. py3versions -d). That's the key, thank you. I thought DebHelper magic was performing the loop through the installed Python interpreters. That PyBuild magic does that loop is something I had not gleaned from its documentation. Probably by the time I need that again, I will have forgotten, and then fail again to understand PyBuild's operation from its documentation. But thank you for this time. > But even easier, all of the pipeline can be replaced with > > pybuild --print build_dir --interpreter python3 > > The execution of sphinx is most often run as a > `execute_after_dh_auto_build` step. After implementing both of these suggestions, the package builds; thank you for helping me resolve the bug. I've assigned you as the author in Git for those commits. -- \ “The industrial system is profoundly dependent on commercial | `\ television and could not exist in its present form without it.” | _o__) —John Kenneth Galbraith, _The New Industrial State_, 1967 | Ben Finney
