Python 3.7 for Debian
|
||
|
|
---------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is Python 3.7 packaged for Debian.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This document contains information specific to the Debian packages of
|
||
|
|
Python 3.7.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[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/python3.7/.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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 python3.7-dev package. Development files
|
||
|
|
like the python library or Makefiles can be found in the python3.7-dev
|
||
|
|
package in /usr/lib/python3.7/config. Therefore, if you need to install
|
||
|
|
a pure python extension, you only need python3.7. On the other hand, to
|
||
|
|
install a C extension, you need python3.7-dev.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
a) Locally installed Python add-ons
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/
|
||
|
|
/usr/local/lib/site-python/ (version-independent modules)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
b) Python add-ons packaged for Debian
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/
|
||
|
|
/usr/lib/site-python/ (version-independent modules)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that no package must install files directly into /usr/lib/python3.7/
|
||
|
|
or /usr/local/lib/python3.7/. 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/python3.7/.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
