package includes *.py[co] files

[Matthias Klose]

please remove these from the package and use dh_python to generate/remove them.

[Adam Buchbinder (adam-buchbinder)]

Which package includes *.py[co] files? I see <a href="http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=.pyc&searchmode=searchword&case=insensitive&version=dapper&arch=i386">a lot of them</a>, but maybe generated files show up in that list as well.

"apt-file search -l -x '\.pyc$'" gives the following list (on Gutsy):
adonthell
pykdeextensions
pyragua
python-adodb
python-cubictemp
python-gnome2-extras-dev
python-gnupginterface
python-pisock-dbg
rubber
serpento
viewcvs

I think we should add all this packages to this bug, ok?

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

Sorry, missed "*.pyo".

The full list according to the bug would be:
$ apt-file search -l -x '\.py[co]$'
adonthell
gdesklets-data
pykdeextensions
pyragua
python-adodb
python-cubictemp
python-gnome2-extras-dev
python-gnupginterface
python-libhamlib2
python-pisock-dbg
rubber
serpento

Right, please do.

[trollord (trollenlord)]

Not all existed in Launchpad, I added the ones that seemingly do.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Looks like the python-gnome2 version in gutsy is not shipping any .py[co]. What binary package did you find buggy?

I have probably confused python-gnome2 with python-gnome2-extras-dev (which gets provided by gnome-python-extras)

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

viewcvs is obsolete and being removed. It would be useful to check it's replacement, viewvc to see if it has the same problem.

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

The binary packages of viewvc are built correctly (no .pyc or .pyo).

[Miguel Ruiz (mruiz)]

I downloaded the rubber source package and it doesn't have .pyc nor .pyo files. Then, I'm setting its status as invalid.

Cheers!

[Miguel Ruiz (mruiz)]

I downloaded the hamlib source package and it doesn't have .pyc nor .pyo files. Then, I'm setting its status as invalid.

Cheers!

[Miguel Ruiz (mruiz)]

I downloaded the python-adodb source package and it doesn't have .pyc nor .pyo files. Then, I'm setting its status as invalid.

[Miguel Ruiz (mruiz)]

I downloaded the adonthell source package and it doesn't have .pyc nor .pyo files. Then, I'm setting its status as invalid.

Cheers!

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Miguel, that wasn't the point. *Binary* packages are not supposed to ship *.py[co] files, and at least rubber does.

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

Christophe,

your change will indeed solve the *.pyc problem, however note that the *.pyc will not be generated during installation unless you add python-central or python-support or a custom script to handle this.
Note as well that you have to add proper support so that the substvars will be substituded properly.
If you check it with

dpkg --info buildresult/rubber_1.1-2.1ubuntu1_all.deb

you will see that there is no dependancy on python and the Python-Version: field remains {python:Versions}.

Please refer to:

http://wiki.debian.org/DebianPython/NewPolicy

and the Debian Python Policy manual:

http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/

Please resubscribe u-u-s once this is corrected.

[Christophe Sauthier (christophe.sauthier)]

I am not that I have corrected well all the problems (in particular the dependency to python and the Python-Version....) . Anyway here is my current debdiff, that fixes the postint problem with python-support :

rubber (1.1-2.1ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low

  * Remove the .pyc files (LP: #36733)
    - Added dependency to python-support
    - debian/control
      + addition of XB-Python-Version
    - debian/rules
      + addition of a call to dh_pysupport in debian/rules
      + modification of the install target to delete the pyc before packaging
  * Modify Maintainer value to match Debian-Maintainer-Field Spec

 -- Christophe Sauthier <email address hidden> Tue, 2 Oct 2007 14:34:36 +0200

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

Can you check the rules file?
Unless it is on-purpose, it seems that there is a duplicated directory:

/usr/share/rubber/rubber/rules/

perhaps should be:

/usr/share/rubber/rules/

Since the other is:

/usr/share/rubber/modules/
