Dear list,

I try handle a package which installs a partly compiled,
architecture-dependent python module. Until now this has been done in /usr/lib/triplet/python3.10/site-packages. This scheme has basically
worked fine.

However, here is an Ubuntu bug [1] where a user runs into problems
because this installation path is not in sys.path by default.

I have been trying to look in the python policy docs, but cannot find
the exact way to install code like this, in the policy [2]
parlance an "extension module".

Any thoughts out there?

Cheers!

Not sure where is this documented but you can easily check on your system.
It should be /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/*.cpython-3*-x86_64-linux-gnu.so

Hm...this is not what I have. Did I get get the term "Extension module"
wrong?


That aside, what I have is some python3 scripts and a compiled .so
library invoked form the python code. The whole thing designed to be in
the same directory. And the question is how this should be installed...

Cheers!

There are a couple different ways to do Python to C. I think the
terms are CFFI (or FFI or ctypes, maybe some of those are different
though?) vs CPython extension, but I'm not 100% certain of that.

May I suggest debian-python@lists.debian.org as a better venue to
discuss packaging Python software for Debian ?

Cheers,

Well, we don't know what do you have.
Extension modules are ones you import.

That aside, what I have is some python3 scripts and a compiled .so library invoked form the python code. The whole thing designed to be in the same directory. And the question is how this should be installed...

Invoked how?
