sip4 (4.19.16+dfsg-1) experimental; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release (closes: #926904).
  * Use dh sequencer and the pybuild buildsystem.
  * Remove references to build path from the generated sipconfig.py files.
  * Fix dist-packages paths in the sipconfig.py files (LP: #1822733).
  * Install the PEP 376 .dist-info directories (but without the RECORD).

[Bug 1822733] Re: "sipconfig.Configuration().sop_mod_dir" returns non existing path in python3.

[Dmitry Shachnev]

Thanks for reporting this! I acknowledge this bug.

But sipconfig is deprecated and should not be used anymore — it will be
removed in SIP v5. The upstream developer recommends copying
Python/configure.py from QScintilla [1] and using that code as a
boilerplate.

So I am giving this bug a low priority.

  I forward this issue here as a BR.
  
  I've got a trouble with sip on Ubuntu 18.04 64 bit (4.18.0-16-generic
  x86_64 GNU/Linux).

apt-get.

  Here are the commands from a python3 console:
  
  >>> import sipconfig
  >>> sipcfg = sipconfig.Configuration()
  >>> print("sip_version_str:%s" % sipcfg.sip_version_str)
  sip_version_str:4.19.7
  >>> print("sip_module_dir:%s" % sipcfg.sip_mod_dir)
  sip_module_dir:/usr/lib/python3.6/dist-packages
  
  But "/usr/lib/python3.6/dist-packages" is not a valid path.
  
  I either have; "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages" ("3" instead of "3.6" append 
to "python" in path name)
  or; "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages" which is almost empty (with only one 
unrelated folder there: "indicator_keyboard").
  Actually, "sipconfig.py" is located in the previous folder (i.e. 
"/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/" ).
  
  It is possible something should be updated in "sipcfg.sip_mod_dir"
  definition...? Probably with some tests to check if path exists...?
  
  The version of the "sip" shipped from the official Ubuntu 18.04
