Package: python-dev Version: 2.3.5-2 Severity: wishlist
Hi. I have an application that I am compiling against Python development files (it uses Boost Python). The build system uses include path usr/include/python2.3, libpath /usr/lib/python2.3/config, and shared library /usr/lib/libpython2.3.so since default versions are not available. This has the consequence that when python-dev is installed (for example on etch) this will fail to compile, since only 2.4 files are installed (since the default Python in etch is now 2.4). I was wondering therefore if it made sense to have generic /usr/include/python, /usr/lib/python/config, /usr/lib/libpython.so symlinks. If you feel it does not, feel free to close this bug report. Thanks.
