python3 and /usr/share
Hi, I am trying to create packages for Python3 for the source package [1]. Following the guide [2], I get some success. However, the packages for Python2 and Python3 differ significantly: in the Python2 package, all machine independent data go into /usr/share/, while the Python3 package contains everything under /usr/lib/python3. Is this intentional, or shall I change something in the rules to get a proper layout? I've investigated some other python3 packages, they all put everything in /usr/lib/python3/. However, this seems to contradict the FHS? What is the way to go here? I've uploaded the package to debian-mentors [3], in case one wants to review it.

Having /usr/share/pyshared in Python2 is an implementation detail. This is never used on sys.path directly. Is this intentional, or shall I change something in the rules to get a proper layout?

No, the FHS doesn't make any statement about code in /usr/share. Matthias -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

However, the packages for Python2 and Python3 differ significantly: in the Python2 package, all machine independent data go into /usr/share/, while the Python3 package contains everything under /usr/lib/python3. The Python code itself goes into /usr/lib/python3 now - as I understand it, /usr/share/pyshared was a workaround that's not needed for Python 3. If the package includes actual data files, they should still go into /usr/share. If it has a lot of data files, it might be worth splitting them into a -data or -common package that the Python 2 3 packages both depend on. IPython matplotlib both use this: ipython3-notebook depends on ipython-notebook-common, and python3-matplotlib depends on python-matplotlib-data. Best wishes, Thomas

If you use the dh_python{2,3} helpers as described in [2], you generally don't
have to worry about such implementation details.
