Re: can pip be made using local Debian packages for any dependencies
I agree that is "easiest" but what I was after was the ability to restrict myself to the curated and signed packages from debian, pypi is just as bad as old CPAN when it comes to packages disappearing or being broken or depending on totally random versions On Wed, 15 Feb 2023, 22:01 Jeremy Stanley, wrote: > As someone who does Python software development on Debian constantly > for their $dayjob, my best advice is to just install things from > PyPI into and run them from venvs/virtualenvs. The default "--user" > install mode pip offers is fragile and leaves you with potential > conflicts anyway if you need different versions of dependencies for > different things. > > To your original question, if you really want to use some > Debian-packaged libraries mixed with things installed from source or > from PyPI, make your venv with the --system-site-packages option. > -- > Jeremy Stanley >
Re: can pip be made using local Debian packages for any dependencies
As someone who does Python software development on Debian constantly for their $dayjob, my best advice is to just install things from PyPI into and run them from venvs/virtualenvs. The default "--user" install mode pip offers is fragile and leaves you with potential conflicts anyway if you need different versions of dependencies for different things. To your original question, if you really want to use some Debian-packaged libraries mixed with things installed from source or from PyPI, make your venv with the --system-site-packages option. -- Jeremy Stanley signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I don't know how useful it would be, though. Obviously, only root could use it (or root inside a container). And our selection of Python modules is far from complete. It's not Debian's intent to provide a mirror of PyPI within Debian. Generally speaking, we package the modules that we find useful for supporting building and shipping other python modules and applications. We'll only have a single version of each package. And they're usually not the versions developers want, because in any stable release they're probably out of date. SR -- Stefano Rivera http://tumbleweed.org.za/ +1 415 683 3272

Just move it somewhere else later in the build? e.g. after dh_install. /usr/bin is where user-executable scripts should go, unless they belong in /usr/sbin or /usr/games. Internal scripts (that will be executed by the full path name) can live in /usr/share/ or similar. SR -- Stefano Rivera http://tumbleweed.org.za/ +1 415 683 3272
