You must put the libraries in a directory (done by python-support in Debian, the directory will depends on the python version installed, but it will be something like /var/lib/ python-support/python2.5/ ), executables at /usr/bin,other files in / usr/share/web2py and so on. But you can do it all with only one package. I.E. I don't mean it has to be done this way, I just wanted to know if there are other technical reasons to do it. It would make sense to have: python-web2py as a metapackage that depends on python-gluon and python- web2py-applications, for example. It's only that I don't know if there are technical or logical reasons to do it. If it has been discussed and agreed before, it's very possible that's the right way, but I can not find the thread of discussion for this. José L.
