that's not correct: the "src" directory is a very well know
best-practice (you can google for it, if you need references),
intended to avoid situations where "import mymodule" will have
inconsistent results depending on where you run that command and easy
of testing.

Hi,
Ah... how much I hate python and setuptools for being so liberal and let
every developer design its own thing... we end up with no standard, one
having to read setup.py, know all the internals of setuptools, and this
thread is one more collateral of that. :/
For this specific package, what's being packaged is what's found by
setup.py. In that file, you can see:
packages=find_packages("src"),
Setuptools will only find "tinyalign" under the "src" folder, as a
python module to package, which is why that's the only thing that is
going to be packaged.
IMO, the best approach to this problem is to convince upstream to move
their tests folder into the Python package folder. Best is even to make
upstream get rid of the "src" folder, rename that one "tinyalign" and
put the tests folder in it. In other words, make upstream do:
mv src/tinyalign .
rmdir src
mv tests tinyalign
sed -i 's/packages=.*/packages=["tinyalign"],/' setup.py

Thanks, Diane. I tried with your given example, it really helped. A lot of appreciates. Thanks for your kind and deep explanation. Sincerely, Sao I Kuan saoik...@gmail.com

The way I solved that problem in a similar package was this Test-Command: set -e ; for py in $(py3versions -r 2>/dev/null) ; do cd tests ; echo "Testing with $py in $(pwd):" ; http_proxy= $py -m pytest -v --pyargs ; done Depends: @, python3-all, python3-pytest The goal of autopkgtests is to test the installed package, when autopkgtest starts running it defaults to starting in the extracted copy of the source package. The goal is to make sure you test the copy in /usr/lib/python*/dist- packages. So I assumed if cd-ed into the tests directory the package source module wouldn't be available to the test runner. I did make the assumption that none of the tests messed with the python path to look in the parent directory... If that's a problem, maybe copy the contents of tests/ to $AUTOPKGTEST_TMP and run the tests there. Hope that helps, Diane
Questions about including tests/ directory into package
Hi, I'm newcomer to Debian packaging, and trying to add the autopkgtest test script into python-tinyalign[1]. [1] https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/python-tinyalign And now I'm facing a (maybe simple) problem. The upstream test files are located in tests/ directory, but seems this directory is excluded during packaging. I have no idea how to include this tests/ directory. 1. Please let me know is there any variable for including the specific file/directory. 2. Why and when the tests/ directory excluded? I tried to find the logic in dh-python [2], but failed. [2] https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/tools/dh-python 3. Is this a correct approach for including the excluded test materials? Always appreciates. Sincerely, Sao I Kuan saoik...@gmail.com
