Hi Debian Python Applications Packaging Team,

I'm forwarding this message because it should have been asked on
"debian-python" mailing list as well. The first message of this
thread[1] is on "debian-mentors".

Regards,
Tiago.

Following the Pybuild wiki page[1], I've added "dh-python" as a build
dependency and added the following to "debian/rules":

diff --git a/debian/rules b/debian/rules
index cc0781a..ae03e14 100755
--- a/debian/rules
+++ b/debian/rules
@@ -1,7 +1,10 @@
 #!/usr/bin/make -f

+export PYBUILD_NAME=pythonpy
+
 %:
-       dh $@ --with python2
+       dh $@ --with python2 --buildsystem=pybuild


 override_dh_auto_build:

But that doesn't changed anything. The
"python-script-but-no-python-dep" error still persists.

Am I missing something here?

Got it.

The Python FAQ wiki page has a section about "debian/clean" and Python
eggs[2], which I was already following. What is strange is that the
upstream tarball has five files in its ".egg-info/" folder:

- dependency_links.txt
- entry_points.txt
- PKG-INFO
- SOURCES.txt
- top_level.txt

But the built package has only three:

- dependency_links.txt
- PKG-INFO
- top_level.txt

So, it looks like the original files are being properly removed, but
are created again later. Any idea about how to overcome this?

Regards,
Tiago.
