Howdy, I've just finished my first attempt at packaging a python module. This module (people.debian.org/~smr/pyvtk) is purely python.
I followed the "python policy" outlined in /usr/share/doc/python, and also looked at a couple of example packages. One thing I noticed in the packages (that isn't covered in the policy) is the practice of deleting the ".pyc" files in debian/rules, and then running "compileall.py" in the postinst. Would someone comment on this? Is it a requirement -- is it a bug to include the compiled python files in the .deb? Thanks, -Steve P.S. Other comments on my package (url above) greatly appreciated!
