After installing python-libtiff importing the module libtiff
into a python interpreter fails with the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/libtiff/__init__.py", line 20, in
<module>
from .libtiff_ctypes import libtiff, TIFF, TIFF3D
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/libtiff/libtiff_ctypes.py", line 56,
in <module>
raise ImportError('Failed to find TIFF library. Make sure that libtiff is
installed and its location is listed in PATH|LD_LIBRARY_PATH|..')
ImportError: Failed to find TIFF library. Make sure that libtiff is installed
and its location is listed in PATH|LD_LIBRARY_PATH|..
The vast majority of import failures is attributed to missing dependencies.
Often times that manifests as an ImportError or ModuleNotFoundError.
Typically, dependencies should be inserted by dh-python via ${python:Depends}
or ${python3:Depends}. Thus a missing dependency can be caused by incomplete
install_requires in setup.py. Sometimes a missing dependency of a dependency
is the cause, in such cases this bug should be reassigned.
