reopen [EMAIL PROTECTED] reassign python retitle 128991 Python policy does not document how to package python programs thanks
I believe "python policy" lacks documentation on how to package python programs, (as opposed to modules). During discussion in debian-devel, it was pointed out that byte-compiled python code is cross-platform, and thus it should be architecture: any.
