Hi
currently only distutils build class does support building for multiple
python versions. However python modules are also shipped in various
other package which use different build systems (rpm with autoconf,
Gammu with CMake or pyexiv2 with SCons, when looking at mine packages).
It would be great if this functionality could be generic, so that I do
not need to duplicate all the code to build using all python version in
every package.
I know this can be quite tricky, because each package might take
different parameters to achieve this, so this is something what needs to
be configurable by parameter, something like:
dh_auto_configure --build-system=cmake --multi-python=-DBUILD_PYTHON=
What would expand to invoking cmake several times passing it
- -DBUILD_PYTHON=/usr/bin/pythonX.Y for all Python versions it should use.
If you want to see examples look at above mentioned packages or just
catch me at DebConf.
