Hi,

In stable, the file utility (5.34) does not recognize byte-compiled
python3 binaries, even though they were generated by the default
python3 for that release (3.7.3). The version currently in unstable
(5.38) should work. Will you please provide a backport or a security
upload?

If the first point is not enough, Lintian depends on the
identification via 'file' to provide the tag
'source-contains-prebuilt-python-object'. Without it, Lintian cannot
test the tag on stable and would likely drop it.

Lintian has to stop using python2, which is being removed from Debian,
to generate test binaries and must instead rely on python3 even on
stable. Lintian cannot resort to python2 on stable alone, because
python3 stores byte-compiled binaries in a different location
(__pycache__).

Kind regards
Felix Lechner
