Python 3.6 for Debian
---------------------
This is Python 3.6 packaged for Debian.
This document contains information specific to the Debian packages of
Python 3.6.
[TODO: This document is not yet up-to-date with the packages.]
Currently, it features those two main topics:
1. Release notes for the Debian packages:
2. Notes for developers using the Debian Python packages:
Release notes and documentation from the upstream package are installed
in /usr/share/doc/python3.6/.
There's a mailing list for discussion of issues related to Python on Debian
systems: debian-python@lists.debian.org. The list is not intended for
general Python problems, but as a forum for maintainers of Python-related
packages and interested third parties.
1. Release notes for the Debian packages:
Results of the regression test:
------------------------------
The package does successfully run the regression tests for all included
modules. Seven packages are skipped since they are platform-dependent and
can't be used with Linux.
2. Notes for developers using the Debian python packages:
See the draft of the Debian Python policy in /usr/share/doc/python.
distutils can be found in the python3.6-dev package. Development files
like the python library or Makefiles can be found in the python3.6-dev
package in /usr/lib/python3.6/config. Therefore, if you need to install
a pure python extension, you only need python3.6. On the other hand, to
install a C extension, you need python3.6-dev.
a) Locally installed Python add-ons
/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/
/usr/local/lib/site-python/ (version-independent modules)
b) Python add-ons packaged for Debian
/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/
/usr/lib/site-python/ (version-independent modules)
Note that no package must install files directly into /usr/lib/python3.6/
or /usr/local/lib/python3.6/. Only the site-packages directory is allowed
for third-party extensions.
Use of the new `package' scheme is strongly encouraged. The `ni' interface
is obsolete in python 1.5.
Header files for extensions go into /usr/include/python3.6/.
Installing extensions for local use only:
----------------------------------------
Consider using distutils ...
Most extensions use Python's Makefile.pre.in. Note that Makefile.pre.in
by default will install files into /usr/lib/, not into /usr/local/lib/,
which is not allowed for local extensions. You'll have to change the
Makefile accordingly. Most times, "make prefix=/usr/local install" will
work.
Packaging python extensions for Debian:
--------------------------------------
Maintainers of Python extension packages should read
