OTOH they anyway modify the setup.py
Debian currently doesn't modify the setup.py. > so it's easy to implement their policy. It is not a policy matter. There might be a problem if the packager has different interpreters than the installer (package build vs. package install). I assume python-setup only uses python as interpreter so everything should be the same as now without the packager changing anything. > I believe python3 is currently the > standard so they probably should do 'py.test3' at least ... If you could offer a simple way to just create the py.testXX it should be possible to create them for every interpreter on the installed system (using the hook in python-setup). > (not sure who is doing py.test debian packaging currently, btw) Chris Lamb <ch...@chris-lamb.co.uk> > That being said, i am considering to actually follow your suggestion > and implement the '-i' option.

I don't have a strong opinion on this. I would favor skips or a warning. That would give an easy way to share which interpreters are supported without caring if they are installed on the specific developer machine. --Adam
