Python 3.9 for Debian --------------------- This is Python 3.9 packaged for Debian. This document contains information specific to the Debian packages of Python 3.9. [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/python3.9/. 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 python3.9-dev package. Development files like the python library or Makefiles can be found in the python3.9-dev package in /usr/lib/python3.9/config. Therefore, if you need to install a pure python extension, you only need python3.9. On the other hand, to install a C extension, you need python3.9-dev. a) Locally installed Python add-ons /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ /usr/local/lib/site-python/ (version-independent modules) b) Python add-ons packaged for Debian /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ /usr/lib/site-python/ (version-independent modules) Note that no package must install files directly into /usr/lib/python3.9/ or /usr/local/lib/python3.9/. 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 The `ni' interface is obsolete in python 1.5.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/python3.9/. 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 /usr/share/doc/python/python-policy.txt.gz 03/09/98 Gregor Hoffleit <flight@debian.org> Last change: 2001-12-14
